What is Copyright Registration
Copyright is a legal privilege granted to the creator of artistic works. Copyrights
are protected by "The Copyright Act, 1957," which has been amended
numerous times. Copyright registration safeguards the owner's rights to their
creation. Because the Copyright registration procedure protects the efforts of
authors, artists, and designers, the author/writer is encouraged to create more.
A copyright is essentially the right not to duplicate someone else's work. A
copyright grants the subject's owner exclusive ownership of his work. If a work
is copyrighted, no one may imitate, copy, or reproduce the original work in any
way. In India, a copyright term is 60 years. The following works are eligible for
copyright protection:
Music
Books
Manuscripts
Films
Fashion Designs
Training Manuals
Software
Literary Work
Performance
Paintings etc
The register of the Registrar of Copyrights is divided into 6 categories:
1: Literary works other than computer Programs
2: Musical Works
3: Artistic Works
4: Cinematography Films
5: Sound Recording
