Copyright Registration

Protecting Original Literary, Artistic, and Digital Works

What Does Copyright Protect?

**Copyright** protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. It applies to original **literary, dramatic, musical, artistic works, Cinematograph films, and Sound Recordings** (e.g., source code, books, music, websites content).

Registration provides a **public record** and legal evidence of ownership, which is essential for initiating infringement lawsuits in court. While copyright protection is automatic, registration strengthens your legal position.

Applicable Works

  • **Literary Works:** Software Code, Websites, Books, Articles.
  • **Artistic Works:** Logos, Paintings, Drawings, Photographs.
  • **Musical/Film Works:** Songs, Films, Video Content.
  • **Validity:** Lifetime of the Author + 60 Years.
