Copyright registration in India grants monetary rights and legal protection to original creators of literary works, art, music, sound recordings, films, and broadcasts. It allows creators to earn from their work through reproductions, public performances, broadcasts, and distribution for various online and offline uses. Although copyright is automatically established at the moment of creation, official registration is crucial as it provides public legal recognition and helps prevent unauthorized use or exploitation of the creator’s work.
Copyright protection serves as prima facie evidence in legal disputes, providing strong proof of ownership in a court of law. This makes copyright registration highly valuable for creators, as it helps safeguard their rights and supports their claims in case of litigation.
Copyright protection extends well beyond the creator’s lifetime, making it the longest-lasting form of intellectual property. It remains valid for the entire life of the creator and continues for 60 years after their death.
Once copyright registration is completed, it creates an official public record, helping the original creator establish and prove ownership of the copyrighted work.
An individual cannot file a lawsuit for copyright infringement without having a registered copyright. Registration grants the copyright holder the legal right to take action against infringement and seek damages.
