Copyright Registration Ghaziabad Process

The copyright registration process involves the following steps:

Step 1: 

The copyright registration application has to be filed in the concerned forms with the Copyright Registrar, mentioning the particulars of the work.

Depending on the type of work, separate copyright applications may have to be filed.

Our representatives will ask for basic details based on your copyright work. You will also need to send us three copies of your work and few signed documents including an authorisation letter that we will send by email. If the work is unpublished, two copies of the manuscript can be sent, where one copy will be returned to the applicant with seal and the other will be retained confidential with the Copyright Office. Applicants can also choose to send only the extracts of the manuscript instead of the whole unpublished copy.

Step 2: 

The forms must be duly signed by the applicant and the application must be submitted by the Advocate under whose name Power of Attorney has been executed.

Our experts will then prepare the copyright registration application and submit the necessary forms with the Registrar of Copyrights electronically.

Step 3: 

Once the application is submitted online, you will be issued the Diary number.

Step 4: 

There is a waiting period of 30 days within which the Copyright Examiner reviews the application for potential discrepancies and/or objections.

Step 5: 

If discrepancy and/or objections are found, discrepancy notice will be issued and the same needs to have complied within 30 days from the date of issuance of the notice.

Step 6: 

Once the discrepancy has been removed or if there are no discrepancies or objections with the application, the copyright shall be registered and the Copyright Office shall issue the Extracts of Register of Copyrights (ROC) which is nothing but the Registration Certificate.

On completion of the copyright application, you will receive a diary number. Registration will take 12 months from this day. During this time, we may be asked for some clarifications on the same and/or some defects in the application and it will cost a further Rs. 1500 for responding and complying with the defects. Our representatives at Vakilsearch will inform you of the changes in the status of your application throughout.

Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots or factual information nor protect ideas or concepts. Copyright is provided only to original literary work.

A trademark is a mark given to protect a brand name, logo or slogan. On the other hand, copyright is a protection given to unique content like a book, music, videos, songs and artistic content.

Copyright protection is valid for 60 years. If it is literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, the 60-year period is counted from the year following the expiry 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-year period is counted from the date of publication.

A copyright registration can be sold, transferred, gifted and franchised with due consent from the owner of the work.

There are two centralized agencies for copyright in India, namely:

Copyright office
Copyright board
The registrar of copyrights heads the copyright office. Indeed, its chief function is to maintain the register of copyrights. While the copyright board rectifies the errors in the register of copyrights and even granting the compulsory licenses.

No, the copyright registration is not mandatory. However, it is always a wise decision to get a copyright registration procedure for its evidential value. It provides the owner with additional benefits and rights to protect their original work.
