Acquisition of copyright is automatic and it does not need any formality. However, certificate of registration of copyright and the entries made serve as prima facie evidence in a court of law with reference to disputes relating to ownership of copyright. Application for copyright registration is to be made on Form IV as prescribed in the first schedule to the Rules. The separate applications should be made for copyright registration of each work. Each copyright application should be accompanied by the requisite fee prescribed in the second schedule to the Rules and the applications should be signed by the applicant or the advocate in whose favour a Power of Attorney has been executed. The Power of highly qualified and experienced Attorney signed by the party and accepted by the advocate should also be enclosed. Business Query Form
