Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad :

 

Copyright is a right given by the law to creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings. In fact, it is a bundle of rights including, inter alia, rights of reproduction, communication to the public, adaptation and translation of the work. There could be slight variations in the composition of the rights depending on the work. Copyright ensures certain minimum safeguards of the rights of authors over their creations, thereby protecting and rewarding creativity. Creativity being the keystone of progress, no civilized society can afford to ignore the basic requirement of encouraging the same. Economic and social development of a society is dependent on creativity. The protection provided by copyright to the efforts of writers, artists, designers, dramatists, musicians, architects and producers of sound recordings, cinematograph films and computer software, creates an atmosphere conducive to creativity, which induces them to create more and motivates others to create.

Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad confers upon its owner sole rights to copy or reproduce the work or grant permission to another to do so. The applies to literary (books, scripts, even software) and audio-visual (music, photographs, movies) works. Business entities often copyright instruction manuals, product literature and user guides. Copyright is usually owned by the creator of the work, but may also be owned by the employer of its creator or the person who has commissioned the work (unless there is an agreement to the contrary in either case). Copyrights are also transferrable.

 

 

Reasons for Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad:

In Ahmedabad, the registration of copyright is not mandatory as the registration is treated as mere recordal of a fact. The registration does not create or confer any new right and is not a prerequisite for initiating action against infringement. The view has been upheld by the Indian courts in a catena of judgments. It is important to note here that there is no prescribed time limit within which registration of a copyright can be obtained. However, presently the registration of a copyright may take a period of 1 to 1 ½ years.

The awareness of Intellectual Property (IP) Laws is considerably low among the enforcement authorities of our nation, and most of the IP litigation is confined to metropolitan cities. It is always advisable to register the copyright as the copyright registration certificate is accepted as a proof of ownership in a Court of law and Police authorities, and acted upon smoothly by them.

Ahmedabad is  a perfect city culturally and economically. although it has not been the top choice Ahmedabad has great potentials towards becoming the next corporate and commercial hub. the city is filled with happiness and joy during festivals and also the development ratio is coming up where the city is becoming more proactive in commercial activities including business.

 

Why do I need Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad?

 

Copyright recognizes the exclusive rights of the creator over an original work. Music, books, manuscripts, software, films, fashion designs, even brochures and training manuals all enjoy copyright protection, even without registration. Basically, the moment you create an original work, you are its exclusive owner. However, in the commercial world, the reason why artists, publishers and corporates still bother to register the copyright on their work is that it’s the only way to approach the courts in case of a dispute.It is to be noted that awareness of Intellectual Property (IP) Laws is considerably low even among the enforcement authorities of the nation, and most of the IP litigation is confined to metropolitan cities. It is always advisable to register the copyright as the copyright registration certificate is accepted as a proof of ownership in a Court of law and Police authorities, and acted upon smoothly by them.

Advantages of Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad:

 

Copyright Registration in Ahmedabad has several advantages. Some of them are given below:

 

  1. Copyright protection creates a public record of the ownership by copyright holder.
  2. Copyright protection enables the holder of the copyright to take legal action against infringers in a court.
  3. If the legal action is taken before or within a certain period from the date of publication, it enables adequate evidence in court relating to the validity of the copyright and the facts that are stated in the certificate of copyright.
  4. If registration is made within a short span of time the person’s work or at any time prior to the infringement of the copyrighted work, the copyright owner is permitted to claim statutory damages in a high court. Without the process registration, only an award related to actual damages and profits will be made available, and these can be quite complicated to prove in a court of law.
  5. Permits the copyright owner to record the registration with Indian-Customs to help in protection against the importation of infringing copies into our country.
  6. Copyright protection provides a very important motivation for the creation of several intellectual works. Devoid of copyright protection, it would be simple for others to take advantage of these works without paying any royalties or remuneration to the title-holder of the work.  Copyright therefore encourages enterprise and enables an encouraging climate to motivate economic activity.
  7. Copyright protection renders benefits in the form of economic rights which entitles the creators to exercise control over use of their literary and artistic material in various ways such as producing copies, performing in public, broadcasting,  use on-line/on the internet, etc. and to avail an appropriate economic reward.
  8. Copyright protection enables creators to consequently be rewarded for their originality and venture.
  9. Copyright also enables moral rights to be identified as the creator or the author of definite kinds of material (known as the paternity right), and raise objection to the distortion and mutilation of the right.  An author’s right to object to the adaptation or   derogatory action in relation to his or her work is referred to as an integrity right.
  10. Registration and entitlement to copyright will display the validity of your copyright if it is registered within a period of five years of publication.  This can help avert future challenges to your works related rights.
  11. One can use, reuse and reproduce the copies and can sell the copies of the work that is copyrighted.
  12. One can deal in the imports or exports of whole or part of the work with copyright protection.
  13. One is liberated to create any derivative work from the copyrighted work.
  14. One can openly exhibit his work with copyright protection.
  15. One can sell or pass on the rights of the work to the other person with copyright protection.
  16. One can deal in transmitting or the display of work by radio or video with copyright protection.
