COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION
Copyright is a form of legal protection that grants creators of original works exclusive rights to control how their work is used and distributed. This includes the right to reproduce, distribute, perform, and display the work, as well as the right to create derivative works. Copyright applies to a wide range of creative works, including literature, music, art, software, and architecture.
In India, copyright registration is not mandatory, but it is advisable to register a work as it provides evidence of ownership and creates a public record of the copyright claim. Copyright registration can be done through the Copyright Office of India. The process involves filling out a form, submitting it along with the work to be registered, and paying the necessary fees. It is important to note that the copyright protection begins from the moment the work is created, and registration only serves as evidence of the claim.
The process for obtaining a copyright in India involves the following steps:
-
Create a original work in a tangible form (such as writing, music, art, etc.).
-
Submit an application for registration of the copyright to the Copyright Office in India. This can be done online or by mail.
-
Provide all the necessary documents and pay the required fees.
-
Wait for the application to be processed and for the Copyright Office to issue a certificate of registration.
-
Once the copyright is registered, it is valid for the life of the author plus 60 years.
It's worth noting that in India, Copyright protection arises automatically as soon as the work is created and fixed in a tangible form, and registration is not mandatory. However, registration of copyright serves as prima facie evidence in a court of law in case of infringement.
ADVANTAGES OF TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
You can enjoy several advantages of copyright registration, including:
-
Legal evidence: A registered copyright serves as prima facie evidence in a court of law in case of infringement. This means that it is easier to prove ownership of the copyrighted work.
-
Statutory license: A registered copyright holder is entitled to a statutory license under the Copyright Act. This allows the holder to use the copyrighted work for certain purposes without seeking permission from the owner.
-
Damages and Injunction: Copyright registration enables the owner to claim damages and seek an injunction in case of infringement.
-
Royalty: A registered copyright holder can license the use of the copyrighted work and earn royalties from it.
-
Public record: Copyright registration creates a public record of the copyright holder's ownership of the work. This can be useful for establishing the date of creation and ownership in case of disputes.
-
Easy to transfer: A registered copyright can be transferred to another person or entity more easily than an unregistered copyright.
-
Statutory protection: Copyright registration ensures statutory protection of the work for a period of 60 years after the death of the author.
-
International protection: Copyright registration in India is recognised internationally and can help the copyright holder to protect the work in other countries.
