Overview
Overview of Copyright Registration
Copyright is a legal right that grants the creator of original works the exclusive authority to use, reproduce, distribute, and license those works. In India, copyright is governed by the Copyright Act, 1957, and administered by the Copyright Office under the Ministry of Education.
Registering a copyright provides formal legal proof of ownership over literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, unauthorized use or reproduction.
