An individual's right to copy their own work is effectively protected by a copyright. A copyright grants the subject's owner the sole right to use his creation. If a piece of art is copyrighted, it cannot be imitated, copied, or reproduced in any other way. In India, a copyright is valid for 60 years.
Copyright registration protects original works like books, music, art, and software, giving the creator legal rights to their creation and preventing unauthorized use. It ensures that your intellectual property is legally protected, granting exclusive rights to use, reproduce, and distribute your work, and prevents infringement by others.
