Copy Right

In India, Copyright grants the exclusive rights to its creator or owner for its use and distribution. These rights are valid for the lifetime of the creator plus 60 years. Copyright registration with the Copyright Office provides legal evidence and public notice of ownership and hence it protects your rights.

    • The form can be filled out online through the Copyright Office's website or manually.

    • Work to be Registered: A copy of the work for which copyright is sought (in physical or digital form). For example, manuscripts, music compositions, artistic creations, etc.
    • NOC form Author (if applicable): If the author and applicant are different, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the author is required.

    • Authorship Prof: Identity and address proof of the author (applicant).

    • The Copyright Office will examine the application to ensure it complies with the requirements under the Copyright Act, 1957.

Important Points:

    • Fees: The fee structure for copyright registration varies based on the type of work and mode of filing.
    • Validity: Copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their death. For anonymous and pseudonymous works, cinematographic films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous works, works of government, and works of international organizations, the duration of copyright varies.

For international protection, India is a member of the Berne Convention and Universal Copyright Convention, and copyright protection can be sought in other member countries through reciprocal agreements
