Overview
What is Copyright Registration?
Copyright is an exclusive right given by the law to an individual on his original creative works in the fields of music, literature, art, software, photography and more. The Copyright Act, 1957 covers the necessary provisions that safeguard the original creative works registered under it and encompasses most creative areas like poetry, film, music, novels, scientific literature and so on.
Copyright is an intangible asset that can be sold or commercially contracted. The author or creator of the work is the owner of the copyright. However, in cases where an employee has created the work in the course and scope of employment, the employer becomes the owner of the copyright.
A copyrighted work cannot be copied via physical or electronic means, and in general, cannot be reproduced in any form, without the consent of its owner. Any breach by any individual or group of individuals gives the copyright owner a right to take legal action against the said party. In addition to the right to exclusivity of material, copyright constitutes other economic rights like the right to adaptation, reproduction, communication, publication, translation etc., and moral rights such as a right of paternity (ownership) and right of integrity. Copyright is valid throughout the lifetime of its creator and an additional 60 years.
