Copyright registration

Copyright Registration is the legal process of recording an original work with the Copyright Office under the Copyright Act, 1957, granting creators exclusive rights to control reproduction, distribution and licensing. Governed by India’s Copyright Act, 1957, Indian Contract Act, 1872 and global standards like the Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty, it provides legal proof of ownership, protects against infringement and lasts for the author’s lifetime plus 60 years. Essential for creators in literary, artistic, musical, software and media sectors, it avoids penalties (e.g., ₹50,000–₹2 lakh under Section 63) and enhances monetization
