what IS Copyright Registration?
In India, Copyright registration provides benefits and monetary rights to the original creators of any art, literature, sound recordings, music, broadcasts, and cinematographed films. It enables the original creators to make money from their creation by sharing their creation with the public. With the help of copyright registration, they can monetize from the creation by issuing its copies, performing in public, and broadcasting to the public for various other online uses. Therefore, copyright registration in India is important as it gives the original creator a legal right so that others cannot exploit the creator’s work.
What can be registered as a copyright?
An original creation which is in a tangible form, i.e. a DVD or a book or a painting or a URL.
Literary works: books, computer programs, and any other type of compilations. Online writing, such as a blog or series of articles.
Musical works and sound recordings including lyrics.
Artistic works: including maps and architectural plans, graphics, sculptures, paintings, etc.
Video: a video creation including a snippet, advertisement, cinematographed films, and motion picture.
Benefits of registering a copyright:
Public Notice of Ownership
Your work will be published in Copyright Office’s Catalog and will be available to be searched by public. This prevents unlawful usage by others and gives a constructive notice to the public that you own the work.
Legal evidence of ownership
In case someone else takes your work or uses it, registration will avoid a costly fee of disputes over the ownership. The copyright registration will be proof of your ownership and will avoid this legal financial burden altogether.
Legal Protection extended even after owner’s death
A copyright’s protection is not restricted up to a time period that is equivalent to the owner’s lifespan. However, the validity of copyright’s protection is valid for the entire lifespan of the owner and 60 years after his/her death.
Creation of an asset
Registering a copyright is equivalent to building an asset. It is an intellectual property that can be sold entirely at a premium price or monetized by transferring it to another party under a business agreement.
A basis for filing the case of infringement
An individual company cannot file a lawsuit for infringement against a party if the copyright is not registered. Copyright registration provides the owner an official right to sue for infringement and claim for damages.
