Protect What You Create
What is copyright registration, and who needs it?
Copyright is your right over original creative work. Simply put, it covers writing, art, music, film, and software. Therefore, it stops others from copying or using your work without consent. Above all, registration gives you clear proof of ownership.
Many creators and businesses should register for clear reasons. First, it protects your content and code. Next, it makes enforcement far easier. Also, it adds value you can license or sell. Because of this, early registration is a smart move.
Documents required for copyright registration
You need only a few documents to start. Also, our team checks each one before filing. As a result, your application rarely faces objection. Here is the full list:
- Two copies of the work you want to register
- Name, address, and nationality of the author
- Name and address of the owner, if different
- Nature of the work, such as literary, art, or software
- A No Objection Certificate if the author is not the owner
- Power of Attorney authorising us to file
