Overview
What is computer software copyright?
Since copyright applies to everything that needs to be protected from being misused by the third party and grants the right to owner of such copyright. Computer software copyright is a legal way to protect your idea, invention or source code in the machine-readable form. It is the code which provides the instructions that controlled the computer when the program is executed which is generally protected by copyright, the code that is read and understand by human and which is more like a computer language. Other than that, the Algorithm cannot be copyrighted.
Copying software is an act of copyright infringement, and thus it is illegal under the Indian Copyright Act, 1957. Making more copies of software than the License allowed is also a kind of Copyright infringement and all software copyright infringement is civil as well as criminal wrongs. The duplication and sale of software without a license which is identical to that original software also amount to infringement of copyright software.
In case a copyrighted computer Software is infringed by a third party you can claim for a temporary and permanent injunction and Statutory Damages. You also have the right to claim actual monetary damages plus the infringer’s profits and court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees.
