Copyright Registration Services
Protect your creative works. Legal protection for literary, artistic, musical, and other original creations.
Overview
What is Copyright Registration?
Copyright registration provides legal protection to original creative works including literary works, music, films, software, artistic works, photographs, and more. Under the Copyright Act, 1957, the creator gets exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, and create derivative works.
While copyright exists automatically upon creation, registration provides legal evidence of ownership and is essential for enforcing your rights in court. It establishes a public record of ownership and allows you to claim statutory damages and attorney fees in infringement cases.
Copyright protection lasts for the author's lifetime plus 60 years in India. For works by companies or anonymous works, it's 60 years from publication. Registration is relatively quick and affordable compared to other IP protections.
