What is a Copyright Registration in India?
Copyright Registration is the legal process of protecting original creative works such as literary, artistic, musical, dramatic works, software, films, sound recordings, and digital content under the Copyright Act, 1957. Copyright gives the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, publish, adapt, and monetize their work.
Although copyright exists automatically upon creation, registration provides strong legal evidence of ownership, making enforcement easier in case of infringement or disputes.
