Secure your original work with legal protection through Copyright registration.
In India, copyright registration provides creators of original literary, artistic, musical, cinematic, and broadcast works with legal protection and financial rights. It enables them to monetize their creations through reproduction, public performance, broadcasting, and distribution, both online and offline. While copyright arises automatically upon creation, official registration offers legal recognition and strengthens protection against unauthorized use or infringement.
Copyright registration acts as prima facie evidence in legal proceedings, offering robust proof of ownership. This makes it a vital tool for creators, helping protect their rights and supporting their claims in case of disputes or infringement.
Copyright protection lasts for the creator’s lifetime and extends 60 years beyond their death, making it one of the most enduring forms of intellectual property.
Copyright registration establishes an official public record, enabling the creator to formally prove and assert ownership of their work.
Without a registered copyright, an individual cannot initiate legal action for infringement. Registration provides the copyright owner the legal authority to enforce their rights and claim damages.
Full name, address, and nationality of the applicant; for a body corporate, a Certificate of Registration must also be submitted.
The applicant’s nature of interest in the copyright, specifying whether they are the original creator or an authorized representative.
The work’s type and description, including its title or URL, and the language in which it is created.
The original publication date of your creative work.
