Important — additional charges. Government objections, hearings, examination reports, and additional responses shall be charged separately. Objection Response: ₹2,999 onwards. Hearing Representation: ₹5,999 onwards.
Professional fee & government fees. The ₹1,999-onwards price is our professional/service fee and is exclusive of applicable taxes (GST). Government filing fees are payable separately, at actuals, and vary by the category of work and the nature of use as prescribed by the Copyright Office (Schedule II of the Copyright Rules). A separate application is required for each work.
What's included. The plan covers assessment, drafting and filing of one copyright application up to issuance of the registration extract, assuming a straightforward, uncontested application. *Registration up to certificate is subject to the application clearing the 30-day objection window and any examination by the Copyright Office without objections or discrepancies.
Objections, discrepancies & hearings. If the Copyright Office raises a discrepancy/examination report, an objection is filed by a third party, or a hearing is scheduled, the required responses and representation are additional services charged separately as above. These are not included in the base registration fee.
Nature of protection. Copyright protects the original expression of a work, not ideas, concepts, methods or facts. Works without human authorship (e.g., purely AI-generated works) may not be eligible. Registration is not mandatory — protection arises on creation — but it provides important evidentiary and enforcement benefits.
No guaranteed outcome & timelines. We prepare and file applications diligently, but acceptance, processing and timelines are determined by the Copyright Office and are outside our control; outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Accurate information, documents and copies of the work are to be provided by you.

A short overview of how registration protects your work — and how we handle the whole process.
Frequently asked questions
No. Protection is automatic the moment you create an original work in a tangible form. But registration gives you a certificate that acts as prima facie legal evidence of ownership — making enforcement, licensing and dispute resolution far easier.
For literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, protection lasts the author's lifetime plus 60 years. For films, sound recordings, photographs and certain works, it's 60 years from publication.
It protects the original expression of a work — the actual book, song, design or code — not the underlying idea, concept or method. Two people can have the same idea; copyright protects how each expresses it.
An uncontested application typically takes a few months. After filing you receive a Diary Number, followed by a mandatory 30-day objection window and examination. If there are no objections or discrepancies, the work is registered. Objections or hearings can extend the timeline.
During the 30-day window a third party can object, or the Copyright Office may raise a discrepancy/examination report. These require a formal response, and sometimes a hearing. These are handled as separate services — Objection Response from ₹2,999 and Hearing Representation from ₹5,999.
Yes. Computer programs and source code are protected as literary works, and original website content, layouts and creative assets can be registered too.
