Copyright Lawfirm in Delhi
Copyright protects the things people create, from books and songs to software and design. The protection exists the moment the work is made, but registration gives you clear proof of ownership and a far stronger hand when a dispute arises. For anyone whose living depends on original work, that certainty is worth having.
At Biswas Law Offices we handle copyright matters across their full range, from registration through to enforcement against unauthorised use. The work is led personally by Shruti Verma Biswas, whose practice covers copyrights, trademarks and commercial law, including the protection and licensing of creative and software works.
Providing Copyright Services
Support at every stage, from registering your work to defending it.
Copyright registration
We file applications for literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, so your ownership is recorded and easy to prove if it is ever questioned.
Software protection
Code is protected as a literary work. We register source code and object code, giving software developers and companies a clear record of what they own.
Licensing and assignments
When your work is used commercially, the terms matter. We draft licensing and assignment deeds that let others use your work while protecting your rights and your revenue.
Fair use advisory
The line between fair use and infringement is not always obvious. We advise businesses and creators on how far they can go in using third party content without crossing it.
Digital takedowns
When your work appears online without permission, speed matters. We issue takedown notices to have infringing content removed from platforms and websites.
Anti piracy enforcement
Where copying is deliberate and commercial, we act. We pursue civil and criminal remedies against the unauthorised duplication and distribution of protected work.

Commonly Answered Questions
Is my work protected even if I do not register it?
Copyright exists automatically the moment an original work is created. Registration is not compulsory, but it gives you clear proof of ownership and makes enforcement far easier if the work is ever copied or disputed.
Why should I register my copyright then?
Because proof matters when there is a dispute. A registration certificate is strong evidence of ownership and the date of creation. Without it, you may spend far more time and cost simply establishing that the work is yours.
Can software be protected by copyright?
Software is treated as a literary work, and both source code and object code can be registered. This gives developers and companies a clear record of ownership that is useful in disputes, funding and commercial dealings.
Someone is using my work online without permission. What can I do?
You can have it removed. We issue takedown notices to the platform or host to remove the infringing content, and where the copying is serious or commercial, we pursue further civil and criminal action.
What is the difference between assigning and licensing my work?
Assignment transfers ownership of the work to someone else. A licence lets another party use it while you keep ownership. Which one suits you depends on your goals, and we draft the agreement to match.
Can I take action against piracy of my work?
Yes. Deliberate, commercial copying can be pursued through both civil and criminal remedies. We assess the facts and pursue the relief the situation calls for.
Do you handle copyright matters outside Delhi?
Yes. Copyright protection applies across India, so registration and enforcement are not limited by location. We act for clients in and beyond Delhi.
