Copyright Registration
Copyright protects original works of authorship, such as literary, artistic, and musical creations. Legal Deed assists clients in registering copyrights to secure exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display their works. We also provide guidance on copyright infringement issues and licensing agreements to protect our clients’ creative assets.
COPYRIGHT PROCESS IN INDIA
Copyright registration in India is essential for creators and owners of original literary, artistic, musical, and other creative works to protect their intellectual property. The process involves the following key steps :
1. Application Preparation
Prepare and complete the copyright application form (Form XIV) with accurate details about the work, authorship, and ownership. Include copies of the work and supporting documents as required.
2. Filing the Application
Submit the completed application form along with the prescribed fee to the Copyright Office. The application can be filed either online or physically at the Copyright Office.
3. Examination
The Copyright Office examines the application to ensure compliance with formalities and requirements under the Copyright Act. If any discrepancies or deficiencies are found, the applicant may be asked to rectify them.
4. Copyright Registration
Once the application is approved and all formalities are completed, the Copyright Office issues a registration certificate. This certificate serves as prima facie evidence of ownership and copyright protection.
5. Duration and Renewal
Copyright protection in India typically lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their death. Legal Deed provides services for copyright renewal to ensure continued protection of our clients’ creative works.
6. Benefits of Registration
While copyright protection exists from the moment the work is created, registration offers additional benefits such as legal presumption of ownership, the ability to sue for infringement, and facilitates licensing and commercialization of the work.
