How To Do Online Copyright Registration In Delhi

You can register a copyright online through Vakilsearch. While we make copyright registration a simple 3-step process for you, the actual registration process is elaborate and is explained below for your knowledge:

Step 1.

Details and document collection

Based on the type of work, we will pick the right copyright application for you. We will collect all the necessary information and documents that will be required for the process. The authorization letter will be sent to you to be signed.

Step 2.

Filling and filing copyright application

Once all the details have been collected and verified by us, our experts will prepare the copyright application and submit the necessary forms with the Registrar electronically.

Step 3.

Dairy number and copyright examination

You will get a diary number once the application is submitted. Using this, you can track your application. There is a waiting period of 30 days within which the Copyright Examiner reviews the application for potential discrepancies and/or objections. If there is a discrepancy, a notice will be issued and the same needs to be responded to within 30 days from the date of issuance of the notice.

Step 4.

Copyright registration

Once the discrepancy has been removed or there are no discrepancies or objections with the application, the copyright shall be registered. The Copyright Office shall issue the Extracts from the Register of Copyrights (ROC)/registration certificate.

Registration of copyright might take up to 12 months from the date of issuance of the diary number. Our team will keep you informed of the changes in the status of your application throughout that time. If there are some clarifications and/or some defects in the application on your account that have to be addressed, we will do it for you at an additional cost. In case of an objection to your application, from interested parties, or the examiner, you would need to file a response within 45 days.

Online Copyright Registration In Delhi – An Overview

Copyright is the legal right creators are entitled to for their literary, dramatics, music, and artistic work. Producers of films and recordings enjoy this right too. When a proprietor registers for a copyright, it gives them an exclusive right to reproduce, replicate, and distribute the work. Further, they can grant authority to some other entity for the same purpose.

Registering for copyright is important because it makes you the legal owner of the rights over the work. You then have control over communicating it to the public, reproducing rights, any adaptations or translations of the works.

Scope Of Copyright Protection

The Copyright Act of 1957 prevents the unauthorized use of any original literary, musical, dramatic, audio, cinematographic, and other artistic work. Both published and unpublished works can be copyrighted, and the original work’s copyright is reserved for the original creator. Copyright can also be registered for works that were published before 21 January 1958, that is before the Copyright Act came into existence.

Copyright protection of original literary, musical, dramatic, and artistic works lasts for the entire lifetime of the author and another 60 years from the year following the death of the author. For cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, works of government, and works of international organizations, the 60 years is counted from the date of publication.
