2. Can the application for copyright be objected? What are the grounds of objection for a copyright?
-
Yes, copyright application can be objected at two stages:
- After the application for registration of copyright is filed, the work is published in copyright journal and 30 days are given for filing objections. Anyone who thinks that the work that is sought to be copyrighted is infringing upon their copyright or is similar to their work can file an objection.
- Once the above objections are cleared or if the application does not receive any objections, the application is forwarded to Deputy Registrar for scrutiny of application. Here, the registrar can raise objections regarding technical deficiency in the application.
It is advisable that you seek the assistance of an expert lawyer to get the objections removed. The lawyer will help you draft an adequate reply to the objection and if need be, personally appear and argue the matter before copyright authorities. MyAdvo can help you in representing your case in the event of an objection being raised. Click here to hire an expert copyright lawyer for the removal of objections.
