A copyright is a right given to the creators of literary, musical, dramatic and artistic works and the producers of cinematograph films and the sound recordings. A copyright doesn’t protect names or brands, slogans, short word combinations, short phrases, plots, methods or factual information. A copyright also doesn’t protect ideas or concepts. Hence, a copyright is mostly used to protect the creativity of people like writers, artists, dramatist, designers, musicians, architects and the producers of sound recordings, cinematograph films and the computer software.

Registration provides legal proof of ownership, aids in resolving disputes, and allows the copyright owner to claim damages in case of infringement. It is an essential step for creators to safeguard intellectual property and establish ownership in the creative industries.
