Copyright Law

Strategic Protection for Creative and Commercial Works

In today’s knowledge-driven economy, original works are valuable assets and protecting them is essential. Whether you create, own, or commercialise intellectual property, we help you safeguard your content and maximise its value.

Copyright protection begins the moment you express an original work in a tangible form. The Indian Copyright Act, 1957 protects a wide range of works including literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, and cinematographic works, as well as sound recordings and software code. Through India’s participation in the Berne Convention and TRIPS Agreement, you can enforce these rights globally.

We advise a diverse range of clients from authors, publishers, filmmakers, and production houses to software developers and digital platforms  helping them protect, manage, and commercialise their copyright assets.
