The Slovenian Copyright and Related Rights Act as one of the measures of cop- yright protection determines registration of copyrighted works
on a voluntary basis. Registration of copyrighted works is a payable
entry and storage of the original or a copy of the copyrighted work in the
public register of protected works. By registration of a copyrighted works,
authors and copyright holders may establish a so-called rebuttable double presumption, due to which
it shall be deemed,
until proven otherwise, that their registered works are copyrighted works and that the copyright belongs
to the registered holders of copyright. In year 2021, there were 73 copyrighted
works registered amongst which there were for example
computer programmes, mobile applications, novels,
photo- graphs, architectural plans and lace patterns. Registered holders
of copyright were in approximately the same percentage natural persons, who
predomi- nantly were their authors, as well as legal entities, although the
latter only as holders of copyright.
