If the work is unpublished, two copies of the manuscript can be sent, where one copy will be returned to the applicant with seal and the other will be retained confidential with the Copyright Office. Applicants can also choose to send only the extracts of the manuscript instead of the whole unpublished copy.

Copyright does not ordinarily protect titles by themselves or names, short word combinations, slogans, short phrases, methods, plots or factual information nor protect ideas or concepts. Copyright is provided only to original literary work.
A trademark is a mark given to protect a brand name, logo or slogan. On the other hand, copyright is a protection given to unique content like a book, music, videos, songs and artistic content.
Copyright protection is valid for 60 years. If it is literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, the 60-year period is counted from the year following the expiry of the author. For cinematograph films, sound recordings, photographs, posthumous publications, anonymous and pseudonymous publications, works of government and works of international organizations, the 60-year period is counted from the date of publication.
A online copyright registration can be sold, transferred, gifted and franchised with due consent from the owner of the work.
There are two centralized agencies for copyright in India, namely:
Copyright office
Copyright board
The registrar of copyrights heads the copyright office. Indeed, its chief function is to maintain the register of copyrights. While the copyright board rectifies the errors in the register of copyrights and even granting the compulsory licenses.
No, the copyright registration is not mandatory. However, it is always a wise decision to get a copyright registration procedure for its evidential value. It provides the owner with additional benefits and rights to protect their original work.
