COPYRIGHTS

Copyright protection subsists automatically from the moment an original literary, artistic, dramatic, cinematograph film, or sound recording—whether published or unpublished—is created and fixed in a tangible form. In accordance with the Copyright Act, 1957 of India, the copyright vests exclusively in the author or creator of the work, subject to statutory exceptions, and confers a bundle of exclusive rights, including the right to reproduce, publish, communicate to the public, distribute, sell, license, and otherwise exploit the work, as well as the right to restrain and take action against any unauthorized use or infringement by third parties.

Benefits of Copyrights

Safeguard of Ownerand Recognition

Copyright registration grants the owner exclusive rights over their work. This means only the owner has the legal authority to reproduce, distribute, adapt, publish, translate, or communicate the work to the public. No one else can use the work without the owner’s permission.

Legal Protection

Once a work is registered, the creator receives strong legal protection. If someone copies or uses the work without authorization, the owner can take legal action against the infringer and claim damages or injunctions.

Brand Value

Copyright registration serves as proof of ownership, which helps build trust and credibility. It can be used for marketing purposes, increases brand recognition, and creates goodwill for the creator or business.

Worldwide Protection

Copyright protection is recognized internationally through treaties such as the Berne Convention. If a work is copyrighted in one country, it enjoys similar protection in other member countries, including India, without needing separate registration.

Copyright is an Asset

Copyright is a form of intellectual property and is treated as an intangible asset. It can be sold, licensed, franchised, or transferred, allowing the owner to generate revenue from the work.

Owner Publicity

After registration, the work is recorded in the official copyright registry, making it publicly searchable. This gives public recognition to the author and discourages unauthorized use of the work.

Economic Stability

Copyright registration helps creators earn a stable income by allowing them to legally reproduce, publish, or license their work in different formats. This ensures long-term financial security for the creator.
