Hi,
I’ve been trying to get info on how to copyright our material. I visited the IPRS website, but it wan’t too helpful. If anybody knows how to go about it, please share the info.
1. Searching on Google led to forms at LawGuru.com – anybody try stuff like this?
2. Another useful post giving contacts to Indian lawyers .
3. A Google sponsored link said “Get Expert Advice on All kind of Copyright Issues IPR Secure (India), M-09810602266”
4. But coming back to the real question: Do people actually register their copyrights? I thought if you just put a copyright© year blah blah, that’s enough?
2 b honest, i m also tryin 2 figure out the mechanism, nitty gritties and implications.
this wud b a good start i guess
