Filing Requirements
 
Copyright provided protection of original artistic and literary works. In most countries, including India, Copyright protection is not dependent on registration; it arises automatically as soon as the work is recorded in some material form.

Copyright owners have the exclusive statutory right to exercise control over copying and other exploitation of the works for a specific period of time, after which the work is said to enter the public domain. Uses covered under limitations and exceptions to Copyright, such as fair use, do not require permission from the Copyright owner. All other uses require permission. Copyright owners can license or permanently transfer or assign their exclusive rights to others.

Copyright protects “expression of idea”, not the idea itself.
India is a member of TRIPS and Berne Convention, therefore the Copyright protected in the countries under these treaties, is also protected in India, as well.
