Copyright Registration
Copyright, akin to trademarks and patents, serves as a form of intellectual property protection. Governed by the Copyright Act of 1957, copyright registration establishes legal ownership of creative works such as books, paintings, music, and websites. Registering copyright ensures that the author’s creative output cannot be copied without permission, granting the author the right to control and monetize their work. This protection safeguards against infringement.
In India, copyright registration confers exclusive rights to the owner, including the authority to distribute, reproduce, and authorize others to use the work. These rights encompass communication to the public, reproduction, adaptation, and translation. However, it’s important to note that ideas, procedures, operational methods, and mathematical concepts cannot be copyrighted.
The necessary documents for copyright registration include...
- Name, address, and nationality of the applicant, along with ID proof.
- No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the publisher if the work has been published and the publisher is different from the applicant.
- Search Certificate from the Trade Mark Office (TM-60), if applicable.
- NOC from any person whose photograph appears in the work.
- Power of Attorney.
- Two copies of the work.
- KYC (Know Your Customer) details of the author.
- Demand Draft (DD) or Indian Postal Order (IPO) of Rs. [amount] per work, as applicable.
- NOC from the author if the applicant is different from the author.
