Overview of Copyright Registration

Copyright is a legal right granted to creators under The Copyright Act, 1957, offering protection for original artistic works. It safeguards the creator’s rights and encourages further innovation.

The registration process provides creators, including authors, artists, and designers, with the means to protect their unique expression of ideas. It prevents unauthorized use of their works, while also promoting creativity.

Copyright grants creator’s essential rights, including:

  • The right to reproduce the work
  • The right to communicate the work to the public
  • The right to adapt or modify the work
  • The right to translate the work
