Copyright Objection in India

What is Copyright?

Copyright is a legal right given by the country's law to the creators of original work for its use and trade. Copyright is just like an asset and is a form of intellectual property.

Why is Copyright Registration necessary?

Any work that falls under categories such as literary, drama, music, artistic film recording, painting, photography, poetry, sound recording, or a new and unique song is considered original. To save the original work from infringement or theft, the artist must protect its work of art. A major limitation is that Copyright protects only the original expression of ideas, not the underlying ideas themselves.

It is important to record the copyrights granted to the owners. Hence, copyright registration is important to provide legal claims and rights to the owners to protect their work.

Copyright Objection

During the process of copyright registration, there is a chance that the copyright application may be met with objections by the registrar. An objection may arise for various reasons, such as if similarities are found in the application and the existence of similar work. The copyright objection may arise anytime within 30 days of filing the copyright application.

As it is a legal obligation, it is important to file a response to the copyright objection letter. If a response is not filed, then the registrar may cancel the copyright application, and thus, the application is updated as 'rejected' in the copyright journal.
