Copyright Registration

From books to software, we help you secure your creative work with copyright protection—keeping your ideas safe from misuse.

Understanding Copyright Protection

Copyright is a legal right that protects original works of authorship such as books, songs, software, art, photography, websites, videos, and more. It grants the creator exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, perform, and license their work.

Eligibility for Copyright

Copyright protection is available to any original creator of a work that is fixed in a tangible form, meaning it must be recorded, written, filmed, or otherwise saved in a permanent way. Individuals, companies, partnerships, trusts, and even government bodies

Copyright Registration is Important

Copyright registration is important because it provides legal recognition and protection to the creator of original works, such as books, software, music, films, artwork, and more. By registering your copyright, you gain exclusive rights to reproduce

Validity of Copyright

The validity of copyright in India offers long-term protection for creators. For most works like literary, artistic, musical, and dramatic creations, copyright remains in force for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years after their death

SLH’s Role in Copyright

At SLH Advisors Pvt. Ltd., we simplify and secure the entire copyright registration process for individuals and businesses. Our role begins with conducting a preliminary assessment of your work to ensure it qualifies for protection under the Indian Copyright Act. 

Steps in Copyright

The process of copyright registration in India involves several important steps to ensure your creative work is legally protected. It begins with filing an application with the Copyright Office, either online or offline, including details of the work, the author/creator, and the type of work being registered.
