Copyright Registration

Copyright exists on creation — but registration is the proof that wins disputes. We register software, creative works, marketing content, and publications with the Copyright Office, and fix the ownership chains (employee and contractor assignments) that registration alone doesn't solve.

When this matters.

The software company

Source code is the crown jewels. We register it — and fix the contractor assignments so you actually own it.

The content business

Creative portfolios, marketing assets, publications — registered as a portfolio, not one-by-one panic.

The diligence cleanup

A buyer is verifying IP ownership. We register the works and regularise the chains before they ask.

What we do.

01

Software registration

Source code and software products registered with the Copyright Office — deposits handled correctly.

02

Creative works

Literary, artistic, musical, and cinematographic works — the full creative range.

03

Content portfolios

Marketing content and brand assets registered systematically.

04

Assignment frameworks

Employee and contractor IP assignments — the ownership foundation registration assumes.

05

Ownership verification

Chain-of-title review for diligence — gaps found and fixed.

06

Infringement support

Takedowns and infringement advisory when your work is copied.

The regulatory frame.

The law that governs this work.

  • Copyright Act, 1957
  • Copyright Rules — registration procedure
  • Ownership — Sec 17 (employer/commissioner rules)
  • Assignment — Sec 18, 19 (formalities)

Questions we hear.

Mandatory?

No — copyright subsists on creation. But registration is prima facie proof, and courts give it real weight.

Who owns employee work?

The employer — if employment terms say so clearly. We fix frameworks where they're missing.

How long?

6–12 months. Correct first filing avoids objections.
