In India, Copyrights are registered under The Copyright Act, 1957. The Copyright Act, 1957 does not consider ideas, mathematical concepts, or procedures. It means that ideas can’t be copyrighted; only expressions can be allotted copyright protection. Copyright is a right given by the law to creators of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works and producers of cinematograph films and sound recordings. A bundle of rights inter alia, rights of reproduction, communication to the public, adaptation and translation of the work together compose a copyright. There could be slight variations in the composition of the rights depending on the work.
