Benefits of Copyright Registration

Legal Evidence

Registration provides a public record of your copyright ownership, which can serve as strong evidence in case of infringement.

Right to Sue for Infringement

You cannot initiate legal proceedings for copyright infringement in India unless your work is registered.

Presumption of Ownership

In court, a registered copyright is presumed to be valid, which places the burden of proof on the alleged infringer to demonstrate otherwise.

International Recognition

While registration is not mandatory for international protection, it can facilitate enforcement of your rights in other countries that have reciprocal copyright agreements with India.

Copyright registration serves as prima facie evidence in the court of law over ownership of the work. Therefore, copyright registration gives the owner legal protection for his/her work.

Branding and Goodwill

Registered copyright can be used for marketing and creating a sense of goodwill and quality in the minds of your customer. Registered copyright shows others that you care about your work.

Global Protection

Works that are copyrighted in many other countries are accorded similar privileges here in India. Likewise, works copyright registered in India are accorded protection in many foreign countries.

Restricts Unauthorized Reproduction

Copyright registration will establish that you are serious about copyright infringement. This will help impede unauthorized reproduction of the work as it provides the owner with a host of legal remedies.
