Copyright is a right given by the law to creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings.

With the registration, you become a legal owner or proprietor of your creative work in respect of music, books, website, paintings, mobile application, etc. Copyright Registration with authority ensures that the original work of an author cannot be copied or misused.
