Copyright is the lawful
right of a man which is applied to his creation such as musical, literary,
artistic work, dramatic, cinematography, and much more. Copyright is a heap of
rights which incorporate the privilege of re-generation, screening, and
correspondence out in the public, adjustment, interpretation or any other use
in any other type of the work. Copyright can be considered as a process to
safeguard the creativity of the individuals. The presence of this privilege
signifies the importance given to the
individual, in the public society and in the eyes of law as well, where the
hard work, original thinking, and idea of creativity is considered as the major
contribution for our progress in each and every field. This privilege gives an
umbrella security to the sharing of one individual's imagination with others so
everybody can commonly profit themselves and at the same time encourages the soul
of advancement. The provisions identified with the Copyright are represented in
India by the Copyright Act, 1957 which has been amended six times to include
the changing elements of the general public.
For Registering a Copyright in India, the candidate needs to
accompany the following steps:-

must be submitted to the Copyright Office headed by the Registrar of Copyrights
either face to face or through the post. An Application can also be made
through the e-filing, it simply requires the documents as per the category of
the work for which you are claiming copyright i.e. artistic work, literary,
music, sound, recording or cinematograph work, software, etc. You may find the
checklist for above mentioned work at the website of the Copyright Office,
Government of India. In order to simplify the process, the
online e-filing process has been started from 14th Feb2014.

An
Application according to the form 4 of the First Schedule of the Copyright
Rules, 2013 incorporates the Expression of particulars and Statement of Further
Particulars alongside an oath i.e. affidavit ensuring the responsibility for the
ownership of the work.
