It protects your creative work when someone tries to copy it. If a dispute happens, Indian courts carefully check your documents under the <strong>Copyright Act, 1957<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are an author, filmmaker, musician, software developer, designer, blogger, or startup founder \u2014 copyright registration is not just paperwork.
