      Copyright Registration

      At Mangalam Taxsavo Consultants Pvt. Ltd., we provide professional Copyright Registration services to help authors, artists, developers, and businesses legally protect their intellectual property rights across India.

      About Copyright Registration

      Copyright registration protects original creative works such as literary, artistic, musical, and dramatic works under the Copyright Act, 1957. It grants creators exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and publicly display their work, safeguarding their intellectual property from unauthorized use.

      While copyright protection is automatic upon creation, registering your work provides legal evidence of ownership and strengthens your ability to enforce your rights. The registration process is suitable for authors, artists, filmmakers, musicians, and other creators looking to secure their creative assets.

      Characteristics of Copyright Registration in India

      Eligible Works: Covers original literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, cinematographic works, sound recordings, and software.

      Ownership: The creator or assignee holds exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, or adapt the work.

      Registration Benefits: Though copyright protection is automatic upon creation, registration provides legal evidence of ownership and facilitates enforcement in case of infringement.

      Application Process: Requires submission of the completed application form, copies of the work, and prescribed fees to the Copyright Office.

      Duration: Protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years (varies for different work types).

      Exclusive Rights: The owner can license, sell, or assign rights, and prevent unauthorized use or copying.

      Public Record: Registered copyrights are recorded and publicly accessible, offering transparency and proof of ownership.

      No Maximum Limit: Multiple works can be registered under one application if related.

      Legal Compliance: Registration follows the Copyright Act, 1957, and Copyright Rules, 2013.

      Advantages of Copyright Registration

      Legal Protection
      Provides exclusive legal rights to the creator/owner over the use, reproduction, distribution, and adaptation of the work.

      Proof of Ownership
      Serves as prima facie evidence in courts to establish ownership and originality of the work.

      Economic Benefits
      Enables monetization through licensing, royalties, and transfer of rights, creating additional revenue streams.

      Prevents Unauthorized Use
      Deters infringement and unauthorized copying by providing statutory backing to enforce rights.

      Long-term Protection
      Copyright protection lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years (varies by type of work), securing rights over a long period.

      Global Recognition
      Registered copyrights are recognized under international treaties such as the Berne Convention, aiding protection abroad.

      Easy Transferability
      Rights can be assigned or licensed to third parties, facilitating business deals and collaborations.

      Enhances Market Value
      Registered copyrights add intangible value to businesses, especially in creative industries and startups.

      ⚠️ Key Considerations

      • Registration is optional but strongly recommended to enforce rights easily.

      • Infringement claims require registered proof for faster legal proceedings.

      • Processing time may vary; plan ahead for time-sensitive works.

      • Does not protect ideas, concepts, or styles—only the expression fixed in a tangible medium.

      • Registration fees depend on the type and number of works submitted.
