Copyrights - Filing Requirements


Copyright Filing for Written Materials
  • Application form to be submitted to the Registrar of copyrights.
  • Copy of the work.

Notes
  • Late filing of documents: not allowed.

A copyright notice can be placed on a publicly published work by the owner. As per the Berne Convention for protection of literary and artistic works to which India is a signatory state, use of copyright notice is optional. It is however, a good idea to incorporate a copyright notice.
