Copyright is an IPR (Intellectual Property Right). It is given by the IP laws to the composers, authors, painters, developers and artists. Through this right, these authors gain exclusivity over the usage, the reproduction and profits of the creations. Once these creations go through copyright registration in India, they become an asset that holds a lot of value. What is the importance of Copyright Registration? If you get your works copyrighted, you have access to the following benefit of copyright registration:
  1. There is a public record that you own your works.
  2. You can enforce copyright laws if someone copies your works.
  3. You are eligible for statutory damages.
  4. You are given protection against infringing works.
  5. Copyright Registration is valid up to 60 years after the artist that the creation belongs to has died.

The copyright registration procedure is the issuance of copyright registration certificate. After the application for Registration of copyright is accepted by the Registrar, the Registrar shall issue to the applicant a Certificate of Registration under the seal of the copyright Registry.

You can get a copyright for any unique and creative content. This could range from a design, a sketch, a painting, a song recording, a music video, a movie, a poem, a book or even a short story.

Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots or factual information. Copyright does not protect ideas or concepts. To get the protection of copyright a work must be original.

A copy of the work needs to be provided along with the address and identity proof of the owner is required. For a company, the name of the company along with its Certificate of Incorporation and address proof is required.

A trademark is a mark given to protect a brand name, logo or slogan. On the other hand, copyright is a protection given to unique content like a book, music, videos, songs and artistic content.

Yes, absolutely. You must immediately send a legal notice and after sending the notice, if the problem does not get resolved, you can even file a case against the other side in a court of law.

Unfortunately, there is no such mechanism. However, you should do a thorough search on the internet, using Google or your preferred search engine to check if there is similar content available already.

Typically, they will send you a legal notice claiming that you have copied their copyright. You can send a reply to this legal notice and we can help you find lawyers who will fight your case for you.

Copyright protection is valid for a duration of 60 years. If it is literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works the 60-year period is counted from the year following the death of the author. In the case of cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, works of government and works of international organizations, the 60-year period is counted from the date of publication.

A copyright is valid in India. However, if you have filed a copyright in India, you can use this as evidence before any government to prove that you were using the copyrighted content first.

A copyright registration can be sold, transferred, gifted and franchised with due consent from the owner of the work.

A copyright holder has the right to copy or reproduce the creative work, the right to be credited for it, the right to determine who may adapt the work to other forms and who may benefit financially from it.

Any literary work, including a computer program and computer database, a sound or audio recording, including songs and recorded dialogues, a cinematographic film, including film, video and animated film. Artistic works, including paintings, sculptures, drawings such as a map, a photograph, architecture/ artistic craftsmanship and dramatic work. Finally, any musical work can be copyrighted.
