Copyrights
Protecting Your Creative Works
Copyright protects original creative expressions under The Copyright Act, 1957. While protection is automatic upon creation, registering your copyright is a crucial step. A registration certificate serves as prima facie evidence of your ownership in court, making it significantly easier to enforce your rights against unauthorized use.
What Does Copyright Protect?
Copyright applies to a broad spectrum of original works, including :
- Literary Works: Books, articles, and computer software/code.
- Artistic Works: Paintings, drawings, photographs, and logos.
- Musical Works: Compositions and melodies.
- Dramatic Works: Scripts and screenplays.
- Cinematograph Films and Sound Recordings.
The owner of a copyright has the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, adapt, and communicate the work to the public. For most works, this protection lasts for the author's lifetime plus 60 years.
