Frequently asked questions

What works can be registered for copyright in India?

Literary, artistic, musical, cinematographic works, software, and compilations. Registration strengthens proof in disputes—we classify your work and file with the Copyright Office.

Is copyright registration mandatory?

Copyright exists on creation, but registration helps in court and licensing. For software and content businesses, registration is strongly recommended.

Who owns copyright—employer or freelancer?

Default rules differ for employees vs contractors. Contracts must assign IP explicitly—we review agreements so your company owns deliverables.

How long does copyright registration take?

Processing varies by diary number and objections—often several months. We track status and respond to discrepancies in the application.

Can I license or sell my copyright later?

Yes, through assignment or licence agreements. We coordinate basic licensing clauses with legal counsel for revenue-sharing models.
