Copyright Registration

Copyright registration in India is governed by the Copyright Act, 1957. It protects original works from being copied and helps preserve their uniqueness. Copyright grants various rights, including reproduction, adaptation, translation, and public communication. It applies to creators of literary, musical, artistic, and dramatic works, as well as producers of films and sound recordings. Businesses and startups can also register copyrights for materials like manuals and product guides. While the creator usually owns the copyright, ownership can also lie with an employer or an authorized person.

Copyright registration can be done through TaxOSmart in Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai & all other Indian cities

Just like Trademark and Patent, Copyright is also one of the intellectual property protection. The Copyright Act, 1957 helps you in protecting the original or genuine literature, drama, music and artistic work. And ideas, procedures or even the methods of operation can never be copyrighted. In a layman's language, a copyright is an exclusive right granted to the owner in order to protect his work from being copied, exploited or misused. Doing a particular work takes lots of efforts and energy and therefore protecting the work done is as important as doing a work. Hence, one of the mediums through which one can protect as well as enjoy certain rights over his/ her works is Copyright. The only owner of registered work can use the product or even can grant permission to another person. Copyrights are also transferrable.
