Copyright Registration Online

The Copyright Act, 1957, along by the Copyright Rules, 1958, is the governing law for copyright protection in India. The Copyright Registration India provides that a copyright subsists in an original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, cinematographic films, and sound recordings, whereas few things such as methods and procedures for mathematical operations cannot be copyrighted. With copyright registration it gives the original owner the peace of mind against the work he created or rewarded.

The Copyright Registration Online is usually valid for lifetime of the author and 60 years after the passing of the author the work would be under his name. Copyright Registration India protects the work from being copied with certain exemptions provided under the act. The work once granted copyright registration is granted protection for the prescribed time period and whosoever copies the work without permission of the owner amounts to copyright infringement.
