Creators, nowadays, are selling or leasing their creativity to the third party to make some money and build their image. But when they are transferring their creativity, they need some sort of legal protection to ensure that no one will be able to use their creativity without their consent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, under Copyright Act, 1957, the creator is able to protect their creativity from third party infringement. Creativity can be sold both offline and online and the risk associated with selling online is much higher than selling offline but Businesses who are operating on an offline mode also need protection against their literary work, dramatic work, sound work, etc. because once they get copied, they can be sold online without the creator\u2019s consent.

Registration in India for Offline business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of <a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/copyright-registration\" class=\"text-primary\"><strong>Copyright Registration<\/strong><\/a> in India is little difficult. However, if you apply with all the required documents and follow the steps described below, it would become simpler:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Filing_application\"><\/span>Filing application<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, the applicant needs to file an application along with Demand Draft (DD) or Initial Public Offering (IPO). The applicant needs to send the application to the Registrar of Copyright in the prescribed format along with all the required documents. The applicant can also file an application online on copyright.gov.in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Issue_of_Diary_number\"><\/span>Issue of Diary number<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once an application has been filed, then the applicant will be issued with Diary number. With the help of Diary number, applicants can track the status of their proposed copyright work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Raising_objections\"><\/span>Raising objections<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the applicant has filed the application, the application will be published in newspapers, journals etc to raise objections regarding the work. It is mandatory for the applicant to wait for 30 days. If the third party will raise any objection regarding the work then, the department will send a letter to both parties and each party will be heard from Registrar. Then, the Registrar will decide according to the replies from both the parties whether to precede the application or reject it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Inspection_by_examiner\"><\/span>Inspection by examiner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If no objection raised or the registrar approves the application in case of third party objections, then the examiner will scrutinize the work to ensure that there will be no discrepancy in the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Registration_approved_or_unapproved\"><\/span>Registration approved or unapproved<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If there will be any discrepancy found in the application and the applicant will not be answerable to that then, the authority will reject the application and if there will be no discrepancy found in the whole work and application then it will proceed further for final Copyright registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Copyright_registration_for_offline_business\"><\/span>Benefits of Copyright registration for offline business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Public_Record_of_the_work\"><\/span>Public Record of the work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright registration helps the owner to maintain the public records of their literary or artistic work. They can register their work under the Copyright Act, 1957 to protect their work from infringement as the law already declared their ownership towards their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protection_from_Infringement\"><\/span>Protection from Infringement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright registration helps the owner to protect their work\nfrom infringement. If someone tries to copy or to publish the work of owner\nafter the tenure or without the consent of owner, and then in such case, owner\ncan sue that person and can claim damages against their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Buy_or_Lease_the_work\"><\/span>Buy or Lease the work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After registering the work under the Copyright Act, the owner has the right to sell or to lease their work for a definite period of time to the third party. They can also charge huge amount by selling their work to another person for lifetime. But, if the third party continues to use the owner\u2019s work after the end of tenure then the owner can sue them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Control_to_owner\"><\/span>Control to owner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Copyright registration gives full control to the owner of their creativity. Owners can use, reproduce, publish and communicate their work to the audience. Owners can also hire third parties for their publication and communication of their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Export_and_Import\"><\/span>Export and Import<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Owners can export their work without any worry of\ninfringement. They can also import their collection which cannot be imported by\nany other party without their consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, it is clear that whether you are running your business offline or online, you need protection against your creativity. Authors may be selling books through offline stores, Artists may be performing in live theatres, program developers may be developing the only source and object code, not the full application and so many like them who are operating offline need legal protection to protect their work from infringement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"read\"><p><b>Read, Also:<\/b> <mark style=\"background: #fffd03 !important;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swaritadvisors.com\/learning\/what-works-are-protected-under-copyright-registration-in-india\/\">What works are protected under Copyright Registration in India?<\/a><\/mark>.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creativity is present everywhere and it plays an important role in the social and economic development of the country.
