Copyright Registration is the legal process of protecting your original creative works under the Copyright Act, 1957. Administered by the Copyright Office under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), copyright grants exclusive rights to creators over their literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, cinematograph films, and sound recordings.
While copyright protection automatically exists from the moment of creation, registration provides legal evidence of ownership and is essential for enforcing rights in case of infringement. A registered copyright serves as prima facie evidence in court, making it significantly easier to claim damages and stop unauthorized use.
Copyright protection in India lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after death (for literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works). For cinematograph films and sound recordings, protection extends for 60 years from publication. This long-term protection ensures your creative legacy is safeguarded for generations.
At IncorpX, we make Copyright Registration seamless and hassle-free. Our team of intellectual property experts guides you through the entire process - from application drafting to obtaining your Copyright Certificate. We handle all formalities so you can focus on creating more masterpieces.
What is Copyright?
Copyright is an exclusive legal right granted to the creator of an original work, giving them control over how their creation is used, reproduced, distributed, and displayed. It is a form of intellectual property protection that rewards creativity and incentivizes innovation.
Under the Copyright Act, 1957, copyright protection extends to various forms of creative expression including books, articles, music compositions, paintings, photographs, software code, films, and architectural designs. The key requirement is that the work must be original and expressed in a tangible form.
Copyright owners enjoy several exclusive rights including the right to reproduce the work, distribute copies, create derivative works, publicly perform or display the work, and license these rights to others. Unauthorized use of copyrighted material constitutes infringement and can lead to civil and criminal penalties.
Key Aspects of Copyright:
Automatic Protection:
Copyright exists from the moment of creation. Registration is not mandatory but highly recommended for legal enforcement.
Original Expression:
Copyright protects the expression of ideas, not the ideas themselves. Two authors can write about the same topic differently.
Economic Rights:
Copyright owners can monetize their work through licensing, royalties, and sale of rights.
Moral Rights:
Authors have the right to claim authorship and object to modifications that harm their reputation.
Did You Know?
India is a member of the Berne Convention and the Universal Copyright Convention, which means your Indian copyright registration provides protection in over 170 countries without separate registration in each country!
Types of Works Protected by Copyright:
The Copyright Act, 1957 protects various categories of creative works. Understanding which category your work falls under is essential for proper registration:
Protection extends to 170+ countries through Berne Convention without additional registrations.
Legacy Protection
Copyright can be inherited by legal heirs, protecting family income for 60 years after author's death.
Protect your creative works with IncorpX!
What Cannot Be Copyrighted?
Copyright does not protect everything. Here are items that cannot be copyrighted:
Ideas, concepts, and theories (only expression is protected)
Facts, news, and historical information
Names, titles, slogans, and short phrases
Government works and judicial decisions
Works in public domain (copyright expired)
Common property like calendars, height/weight charts
Important Note!
For names, titles, and slogans, consider Trademark Registration instead. For inventions and technical innovations, Patent Registration provides better protection. Contact us to determine the right IP protection for your needs.
