What is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal right that protects original creative works such as books, music, software, videos, artworks, photographs, websites, and more. It gives the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, publish, distribute, display, and commercially use their work. Unlike trademarks or patents, copyright protects creative expression, not brand names or inventions.
Why Copyright is Important
If you are a creator, author, developer, artist, or business producing creative content — copyright is essential.
How Originality Is Determined
To qualify for copyright, a work must be:
Original : created by you, not copied
Creative : involves skill or judgment
Fixed in a tangible format : written, recorded, coded, or designed
Documents Required
For Copyright registration online, the following documents are required:
Copyright Registration Process
Submission of Work
You provide the final version of your creative work such as a book, software, music, artwork, or digital content.
Filing the Application
The application is filed online with complete details of the author, owner, and the nature of the work.
Diary Number Issued
A Diary Number is generated, and a mandatory 30-day waiting period begins for public review or objections.
Examination for Objections
The Copyright Office examines the work. If objections arise, clarifications or additional documents are submitted.
Approval & Registration
Once approved, the copyright is officially registered and the registration certificate is issued.
