Copyright Registration
Legal proof that your creative work is yours.
Why Copyright is worth doing properly
- Without registration, proving you created the work first becomes a he-said-she-said dispute. Registration gives a dated, govt-stamped diary number from day one — admissible in any Indian court.
- YouTube Content ID, Amazon Brand Registry, Apple App Store and Google Play removal claims all require copyright proof — registered copyright resolves takedowns in days vs months.
- Software exporters: many international clients (US/EU SaaS, govt tenders) demand registered copyright as part of IP due diligence before signing.
- Inheritance: copyright is property. Registered copyright transfers cleanly to heirs; unregistered work leaves families in legal limbo.
Right for you if…
- Any original artistic, literary, dramatic, musical, sound or cinematographic work
- Software code counts as 'literary work' under Indian Copyright Act 1957
- Creator must be an Indian citizen / Indian-resident author OR work first published in India
- Owner can be different from creator (NOC required) — common for employer/employee work
- Works can be registered before OR after publication
Copyright protects what you create — logos as artwork, software code, music, books, courses, designs. Registration gives you dated, government-stamped proof of ownership that holds up in disputes and on platforms like YouTube and Amazon.
