Copyright registration in India provides legal protection to creators of original literary, artistic, dramatic, and musical works. Here’s a simplified overview of the copyright registration process in India:
Any original work falling within eligible categories like literary, artistic, computer programs, films, or sound recordings can be registered for copyright protection.
To initiate copyright registration, applicants need to complete the appropriate application form available on the official Copyright Office website under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry.
Accompanying documents include a copy of the work, a no-objection certificate from the author (if applicable), a power of attorney (if filed by an attorney), and the prescribed fee payment receipt.
Submit the completed application along with the necessary documents either physically or through the online copyright registration portal.
The Copyright Office examines applications for completeness and compliance. Applicants may be asked to rectify any discrepancies within a specified period.
Upon satisfactory examination, the Copyright Office issues a registration certificate confirming copyright protection, with the registration date being the date of application receipt.
The duration of protection varies depending on the work's nature. For most works, it is the author's lifetime plus 60 years, while for anonymous works or others, it's 60 years from publication.
