Intellectual Property /Copyright Registration

Copyright registration provides legal protection for original creative works, such as literature, music, artwork, and software, in India. It grants the copyright holder exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their work. Registering your copyright helps establish ownership and provides legal recourse in case of infringement.

Eligible Works

Copyright registration applies to various creative works, including literary works, musical compositions, artistic creations, films, computer programs, and more. The work must be original and fixed in a tangible form.

Application Process

To register a copyright, submit an application with the Copyright Office, along with the required documents and fees. The application should include details about the work, its author, and proof of ownership.

Duration of Protection

In India, copyright protection generally lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their demise. For anonymous or pseudonymous works, the protection extends to 60 years from the year of publication.

Benefits of Registration

Registering your copyright provides several benefits, including evidence of ownership, the ability to enforce your rights in court, and the possibility of statutory damages and attorney fees in case of infringement.

International Protection

India is a member of various international conventions, such as the Berne Convention, which grants copyright protection in multiple countries. Registration in India can help facilitate protection in other member countries.
