Why should one get their work registered under the copyright law?
It is not mandatory to get copyright protection but always advisable to do so because it will give the owner a certain set of minimum rights over his work and the protection that no one will be able to copy his work for a minimum period of time. This satisfaction will always motivate the owner to do more work and create more items.
The procedure to obtain a copyright registration
Before filing the application form for Copyright registration, the applicant needs to use the User ID and password for login. If the applicant is not registered while applying, then he/she is required to opt for New User Registration.
An applicant can apply either manually in the copyright office or through an e-filing facility available on the official website (copyright.gov.in). Here, the applicant can be an author of the work/owner of an exclusive right for the work/an authorized agent. For Copyright Registration, an independent application must be filed with the registrar along with the particulars of the work. The Registrar will issue a dairy number to the applicant, once the Copyright application is filed.
Once the dairy number is issued, a minimum of 30 days waiting period is provided where the copyright examiner can review the application. After examination, the process of Copyright Registration gets divided into two segments:- If the objection is raised by someone against the applicant, the letter is sent to boththe parties, and they are called to be heard by the registrar. If no objections are raised, the examiner consents to review and scrutinize the application to find any disparity.
The last step is the issuance of the copyright registration certificate. In the Registration step, the Registrar might ask for more information and documents. If the registrar is completely satisfied with the application made by the applicant, he will enter the details of the copyright application into the register of copyrights and issue a certificate of registration. Note-The Copyright registration completes when the applicant is issued the Extracts of the Register of Copyrights (ROC).

Frequently Asked Questions
Does copyright apply to titles or names?
Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots, or factual information nor protect ideas or concepts. Copyright is provided only to original creative work.
Do I need a trademark or copyright? What is the difference?
A trademark is a mark given to protect a brand name, logo or slogan. On the other hand, copyright is a protection given to unique content like a book, music, videos, songs, and artistic content.
After applying for a copyright, if someone else copies my content, is there any protection?
Yes, absolutely. You must immediately send a legal notice and after sending the notice, if the problem does not get resolved, you can even file a case in a court of law.
Is there any way to search whether my content has been copyrighted by someone else in the past
No, there are no such provisions to check if the work has been copied by any third party. However, you can do a thorough search on the Internet to check if there is anything similar to yours.
Is copyright valid in India alone or is it valid across the world?
India is a signatory of the Berne Convention, so copyright registered in India will get the status of foreign work and protection will be extended to countries that are also signatories to the Berne Convention.

A mobile application cannot be copyrighted as such; however, the coding can be copyrighted as literary work and other elements can be filed as different copyright applications.
