Copyright Litigation support from our Copyright team, handled end-to-end as part of our Intellectual Property practice.
Copyright filing is executed in 48 hours. A mandatory 30-day waiting period is enforced by the registry for any third-party objections. Registration is completed in 6 to 12 months in the absence of discrepancy letters.
We make legal and intellectual property filings seamless, secure, and fully transparent. Here is how we handle your assignment from start to finish:
Understand your goals, check eligibility, and draft the filing roadmap.
Collect required records and conduct compliance checks for errors.
Draft and submit applications to the registry within 48 business hours.
Monitor application progress and respond to office actions/objections.
Handover certified registrations and provide post-filing support.
Copyright protection exists automatically from the moment the work is created. However, registration is highly recommended because it acts as prima facie evidence of ownership in court.
Software is protected as a 'literary work' under copyright law. It protects the written source code and object code from unauthorized copying, but not the underlying algorithm (which requires a patent).
For literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works, copyright is valid for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their death.
