Copyright Registration

While we make copyright registration a simple 3-step process for you, the actual registration process is detailed and explained below for your information:

•  Detail and Document Archive

Based on the type of work, we will choose the right copyright application for you. We will collect all the necessary information and documents required for the process. You will be sent a letter of authorization for signing.

• Filling out and filing a copyright application

After all the details have been collected and verified by us, our experts will prepare the copyright application and submit the required forms to the registrar electronically.

• Dairy Number and Copyright Test

After submitting the application you will get a diary number. Using this you can track your application.

There is a 30-day waiting period within which the copyright examiner reviews the application for potential discrepancies and/or objections. If there is any discrepancy, a notice will be issued and a reply will have to be made within 30 days from the date of issue of the notice.

•  Copyright Registration

Once the discrepancy has been rectified or there is no discrepancy or objection with the application, the copyright will be registered. The Copyright Office will issue an extract from the Copyright Register (ROC) / Certificate of Registration.

The registration of copyright may take up to 12 months from the date of issue of the diary number. Our team will keep you informed of changes in the status of your application throughout that time. If there are any clarifications and/or defects in the application on your account that need to be corrected, we will do so for you at an additional cost.

In case of objection to your application from interested parties or the examiner, you have to file a reply within 45 days.

Copyright Registration Online

Copyright is the legal right that creators are entitled to for their literary, drama, musical, and artistic works. Producers of films and recordings also enjoy this right. When an owner registers for copyright, it gives them the exclusive right to reproduce, replicate and distribute the work. In addition, they may confer rights on any other entity for the same purpose.

Registering for copyright is important because it makes you the legal owner of the rights to the work. You then have control over its access to the public, reproduction rights, and any adaptations or translations of the works.
