Copyright Basics
A copyright is a form of intellectual property law which protects original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software and architecture. Copyright law does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation, although it may protect the way these things are expressed.
Benefit of Copyright
Although it is not mandatory to copyright a literary, artistic, dramatic, musical, cinematographic, computer programme and sound recording but in order to safeguard different art and skills it is extremely necessary that the matter gets Copyrighted in a proper manner. The most important benefit of copyright is that the statutory fees for registration of Copyright is very less as compared to the government fees of other concepts within the ambit of Intellectual Property Rights. More importantly it is registered for a longer period and can be used as a weapon to claim damages in case it gets infringed.
