COPYRIGHTS
The legal term “copyright” describes the ownership rights that writers and artists have over their creative creations.
It protects ideas expressed, not the ideas themselves. Copyright holders are the only ones with the authority to modify, duplicate, publish, translate, and distribute their creations to the general public.
Copyright protects computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps, technical drawings, paintings, sculptures, books, and movies.
In India, copyrights are governed under the Copyright Act, 1957.
A computer program or piece of software can likewise be considered a literary work.
Under the Copyright Act of 1957, computer programs, tables, and compilations—including computer databases—are regarded as literary works.
The source code needs to be sent with the application for software item copyright registration.
