Frequently Asked Questions
Is copyright registration mandatory?
While copyright protection is automatic upon the creation of an original work, registering your copyright is highly recommended. It creates a public record of your ownership and is required before you can file a lawsuit for infringement in court.
What types of work can be copyrighted?
A wide range of original works can be copyrighted, including literary works (books, articles), artistic works (paintings, photos), musical compositions, sound recordings, films, and computer software.
How long does copyright protection last?
In India, for most works, copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their death. This ensures your creative legacy is protected for generations.
Can I register a copyright for my website?
Yes, the original content on your website, including the text, graphics, and code, can be protected by copyright. This helps prevent others from copying your digital presence.
What is the difference between copyright and a patent?
Copyright protects the expression of an idea (like a book or a song), while a patent protects an invention (like a new machine or process). They are distinct forms of intellectual property for different types of creations.
