About This Service

Copyright at VS Arora & Co.

Copyright protects original literary, artistic, musical and dramatic works — including software, websites, films and recordings — automatically upon creation. But registration creates a public record, enables infringement suits and makes enforcement dramatically easier.

VS Arora & Co. advises creators and businesses on copyright registration, licensing, assignment and enforcement. From DMCA takedowns for online piracy to High Court injunctions against mass reproduction, we protect your creative assets swiftly and effectively.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Q

Is copyright registration mandatory in India?

A

No — copyright is automatic upon creation. But registration creates conclusive evidence of ownership and makes enforcement significantly easier in infringement disputes.

Q

How long does copyright last?

A

In India, copyright in literary, artistic and musical works lasts for the lifetime of the author plus 60 years. For films, sound recordings and broadcasts, the term is 60 years from the date of publication.

Q

Can I copyright a website?

A

Yes. Website content — including text, images, source code and layout — can be protected by copyright. We advise on the right scope of registration for digital assets.

Q

What is a DMCA takedown?

A

The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) notice is used to request online platforms (YouTube, Google, social media) to remove infringing content. We draft and submit these notices on your behalf.

Q

Can I transfer my copyright to someone else?

A

Yes. Copyright can be assigned (transferred outright) or licensed (permission to use on specific terms) through a written agreement. We draft, negotiate and register these agreements.
