In today's interconnected world, original creations, whether literary works, artistic designs, software, music, or films, are more valuable than ever.

For creators and businesses in India, safeguarding their intellectual property is paramount, and this is where specialized legal expertise becomes indispensable.

With over 40 years of experience in the field of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), they have established themselves as a trusted name for individuals and organizations seeking to defend their creative works.

Understanding Copyright Infringement in India

Copyright law in India is governed by the Copyright Act, 1957. It grants exclusive rights to creators over their original works, preventing unauthorized reproduction, distribution, public performance, adaptation, and translation. When these exclusive rights are violated, it constitutes copyright infringement.

Common forms of copyright infringement include:

• Direct copying or reproduction: Duplicating a book, software, or musical composition without permission.


• Unauthorized distribution: Selling or circulating pirated copies of films, music, or other copyrighted material.


• Plagiarism: Using someone else's content (text, images, design) without proper attribution or permission.


• Online piracy: Illegally sharing or downloading copyrighted content on the internet.


• Creating derivative works: Adapting or transforming copyrighted material without authorization (e.g., making a movie based on a book without permission).

The consequences of copyright infringement in India can be severe, ranging from civil remedies like injunctions, damages, and accounts of profits, to criminal penalties including imprisonment and hefty fines.
