An Overview
Benefits
Copyright registration in India provides several benefits to creators or owners of original works. Here are some of the key benefits:
Legal Protection: Copyright registration provides legal evidence of ownership of the work. In case of any infringement or dispute, the registration certificate serves as proof of ownership, making it easier to take legal action against infringers.
Exclusive Rights: Copyright registration grants the owner exclusive rights to use, reproduce, distribute, and display the copyrighted work. This means that no one else can use the work without the owner’s permission.
Statutory Damages: If the owner of a copyrighted work finds that their work has been infringed, they can claim statutory damages. This means that the owner can claim compensation without having to prove the actual damages suffered.
International Protection: Copyright registration in India is recognized in many other countries. This means that if the owner of a copyrighted work wishes to protect their work in other countries, they can use their Indian registration as a basis for registration in other countries.
Licensing Opportunities: Copyright registration makes it easier to license or sell the copyrighted work to others. This can create new revenue streams for the owner of the work.
Increased Credibility: Copyright registration adds credibility to the work and its creator. It shows that the creator takes their work seriously and is committed to protecting their intellectual property.
Perpetual Protection: Copyright protection in India lasts for the lifetime of the creator plus 60 years after their death. This means that the owner’s heirs or legal representatives can continue to benefit from the copyright protection even after the creator’s death.
