Copyright Registration
Creativity is something which cannot be learned or imparted. It is an individualistic characteristic and every artist finds a unique way of expressing their creativity. Any artistic work, be it literary, dramatic, paintings, musical, cinematography or recordings, needs protection against copying and infringement to maintain its uniqueness. The Copyright Act 1957 provides the intellectual property protection to the creators of these artistic works.
Copyright provides the assurance regarding the safety and gives due credit to the owner of the work. The owner gets many right including the rights to publication, reproduction, adaption and translation of the work under the Copyright. Apart from literature, paintings, drama, music, cinematographs, recordings and other artistic works, instruction manuals, product literatures and user guides are also copyrighted by the company. The ownership of these company works is either with the creator or the employer of the creator or the person who authorized the work. However, it is to be noted that ideas, procedures and concepts cannot be copyrighted.
Similar to Trademark, Copyright is the intellectual property of the creator of art. Though the creator reserves the exclusive right of the work even without the registration, Copyright is the prima facie when it comes to commercial sphere and legal proceeding, hence Copyright Registration becomes important to protect the work in case of dispute. Jain Divya & Associates can help you apply for Copyright Registration.
