In today’s digital-first world, protecting your original content be it artistic, literary, musical, or software-based is more critical than ever. At AMD LAW INDIA, we offer specialised legal services for copyright protection in India, helping creators, businesses, and rights holders secure and enforce their intellectual property rights across India and internationally.
Copyright protection grants creators exclusive rights over their original works. This protection enables them to control the reproduction, distribution, public performance, and adaptation of their content. In India, these rights arise automatically when a work is created, but registering your copyright offers substantial legal advantages, particularly in the event of infringement or dispute.
We assist individuals and companies in securing robust copyright protection in India through legally compliant procedures, strategic consultation, and enforcement support.
While copyright exists upon creation, applying for copyright protection strengthens your legal standing. Registration with the Indian Copyright Office creates a public record of ownership and serves as prima facie evidence in court. Our services include:
1. Preparing and filing the copyright application
2. Drafting necessary declarations and documentation
3. Monitoring application status
4. Representing clients in case of objections or queries
With AMD LAW INDIA, the process of applying for copyright protection is seamless, strategic, and legally sound.
The term of copyright protection varies depending on the type of work:
1. Literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works: Lifetime of the author plus 60 years posthumously
2. Cinematographic films and sound recordings: 60 years from publication
3. Government and international organisation work: 60 years from first publication
Understanding the term of copyright protection is crucial for both enforcement and commercialisation. Our team advises on how to maintain and monitor these terms, ensuring uninterrupted protection.
India’s copyright protection laws are governed by the Copyright Act, 1957, which is regularly updated to reflect technological and legal developments. The Act ensures:
1. Protection of original works
2. Defined ownership and rights transfer mechanisms
3. Enforcement provisions for infringement
4. Fair use exceptions and limitations
5. Statutory damages and injunctions for violations
Our legal team stays updated with the evolving framework of copyright protection laws, offering expert legal advice and litigation services tailored to your creative and commercial goals.
With content frequently shared and consumed across borders, international copyright protection is vital. India is a signatory to several international treaties, including:
1. The Berne Convention
2. The Universal Copyright Convention
3. The TRIPS Agreement (WTO)
4. WIPO Copyright Treaty
This means works protected in India are also eligible for global copyright protection in member countries.
At AMD LAW INDIA, we assist clients in extending protection beyond Indian borders by leveraging these international frameworks. Whether you’re publishing abroad or licensing your content globally, our team ensures your work is protected under applicable jurisdictions.
1. Lack of clarity around what qualifies for copyright
2. Unawareness of the term of copyright protection
3. Difficulty in the application process
