Copyright is an intellectual property right that gives creators exclusive rights over their original works. It protects original literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, cinematographic, and software works from unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or modification.
In India, copyright arises automatically upon creation of the work - you do not need to register it for the copyright to exist. However, registration under the Copyright Act, 1957 provides prima facie legal evidence of ownership, which is crucial in infringement disputes.
Registration is done through the Copyright Office under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). A registered copyright certificate is accepted as legal proof in courts, making enforcement significantly easier.
