Copyright Registration
Protect software, literary, artistic, musical and cinematograph works.
Overview
Copyright protects original expression — source code, manuals, websites, artwork, music, films and literary works — for the life of the author plus sixty years. Registration is not compulsory but the certificate is prima facie evidence of ownership in infringement proceedings and in due diligence during fundraising. Jurisync files Form XIV with the required work copies and handles the mandatory 30-day objection window.

What you actually pay
Two separate components: Jurisync's professional fee (fixed, shown below) and any government or statutory charge (billed at actuals, receipt shared with you).
| Jurisync professional fee | ₹4,999 |
|---|---|
| Government / statutory charges | ₹500 – ₹5,000 (work category dependent) |
| Indicative timeline | As per Copyright Office (6–12 months typical) |
| Mode of delivery | Fully online across India — documents, approvals and final certificates through your Jurisync case workspace. |
Timelines depend on government portal processing and how quickly documents are provided; statutory approval always rests with the concerned authority.
