Copyright Registration Online
Copyright is made of 2 words.
Copy means to copy someone's work, product or idea and right means the power or legal dominion to do so.
In simpler terms, copyright is the right to copy, awarded only to the owner of the work by the government.
The owner is allowed to grant someone else, a 3rd party, the right to recreate their work, usually for a sum of money.
Like Trademarks and Patents, Copyright is the intellectual property of the company.
The work can be in the form of a literary, artistic, educational or musical property.
Copyright laws in India
The Indian Copyright Act 1957 (amended by the Copyright Amendment Act, 2012) grants the owner of an individual property to register for copyright and protect their creative work from infringement of any kind.
The Copyright Act also reflects the international norms for copyrights as dictated by the Need Convention for Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, 1886.
Advantages of copyright registration in India
Copyrighting your creative work comes with so many advantages. Let's have a look at some of them
- Prevention of financial loss: Products, and ideas that are unprotected from copyrights are often stolen, recreated and exploited without the owner's permission leading to a loss of revenue to the owner. Copyright registration stops it by making it a punishable offence.
- Legal coverage: Many times, proving that a creative property belongs to you becomes difficult in court, in case you sue a party for stealing your work. Copyright registration makes sure your word is taken seriously as the person holding genuine legitimate proof of ownership.
- The right to recreate: one of the biggest benefits of copyright in India is it creates a surrounding of creativity. For example, a software company spends millions of dollars to create a unique product with hopes of earning huge profits and copyright ensures it can do so without losing revenue.
- Safeguarding Artist's reputation: The Artist's work remains original and undiluted or untampered with, if it is copyright protected.
