How does Copyright Work?

Creative works, such as literature, drama, music, art, or other forms of intellectual expression, are protected by copyrights. The Indian court system may protect original materials in civil and criminal proceedings but is not required to do so.

These rights include the right to exploit artistic and musical endeavors, along with cinematography, sound recordings, etc. Adaptation, reproduction, communication, and dissemination rights cover all of these rights. Various rights are included in these rights depending on the type of work. Copyright Registration in India protects and rewards the authors’ creativity by safeguarding and protecting their creations. A creative society places great emphasis on promoting creativity since creativity is the basis for progress. Innovation and creative thinking are crucial to economic and social progress.

Copyright owners have exclusive rights to works owned by them, which include:

Copyright confers several rights that can be granted in an exclusive or nonexclusive manner to third parties

Copyright Registration in India

In India, the author of "original works of authorship," including literary, musical, dramatic, and artistic works, may obtain intellectual property protection. Unpublished and published works are entitled to intellectual property protection. Copyrighted songs or lyrics may be reproduced to create derivative works or variations, distributed and displayed by the owner of the copyright performing it publicly. Nevertheless, there is a strong recommendation for registering and applying for copyright before releasing a song into the public domain.

Why you should register your copyright?

The importance of Copyright Registration can be summarized as follows

  • Protection under the law

According to the law, registered copies of works serve as prima facie evidence. Moreover, by granting the owner this right, he or she can sue to prevent infringement or copying of his/her creation.

  • The concept of branding or goodwill

In the minds of your customers, Registered Copyright creates a sense of goodwill regarding your quality.

  • Creators are protected after their death

In addition to protecting the rights of a creator, a properly registered copyright also protects their legacy. Consequently, Copyright is considered more valuable than other intellectual property rights. Furthermore, registered copyrights continue to be valid for 60 years following the death of the creator.

  • Affirmation prima facie

Having copyright registered proves beneficial for both the creators and the law.

  • Owner’s public relations

By registering a work, it becomes searchable in the Copyright Registry Database around the world.

  • Prohibits the reproduction of unauthorized works

When copyrights are properly registered, they protect the owner’s exclusive rights and prevent his/her work from being illegally reproduced.

● If the work is published

Either the author of the work or a special rights holder can apply, as well as a person who is not authorized to act on behalf of the work. We provide online copyright registration.

Artists and creators have the right to use their works for as long as they live (i.e., 60+ years following the date of first publication).

In India, the steps involved in the process for Copyright
Registration are as follows

A song, a movie, or a book requires a lot of energy and resources. Writers may spend years on one book, while filmmakers may spend billions of rupees making a hit film. Using a copy of a novel or making a copy of a movie could cause losses for the original creator if they choose to make a copy. Copyright registration provides legal protection for the original work by preventing it from being copied by other people.

The Copyright Act

There are many types of copyright protection under the Copyright Act of India, but these protections are not unlimited. For example, for literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, the copyright is protected until the lifetime of the author plus sixty years. Up until then, a work can only be reproduced or distributed if it is owned by the owner of the copyright.

Copyright protection includes the right to reproduce, modify, distribute, publicly perform, and publicly display.

However, registration is no guarantee against infringement. The holder of copyright must file a lawsuit if their copyright is violated. Court proceedings are the only way to verify such claims.
