An individual's right to copy their own work is effectively protected by a copyright. A copyright grants the subject's owner the sole right to use his creation. If a piece of art is copyrighted, it cannot be imitated, copied, or reproduced in any other way. In India, a copyright is valid for 60 years. It is possible to claim copyright for the following works:
Literary works other than computer Programs

Computer Programs, tables & Compilations
Copyrights are protected by “THE COPYRIGHT ACT, 1957” though there have been several amendments to the act.
Although copyright protection is not required, it is always advisable to obtain it because it will grant the owner a set of minimal rights over his work and the security that no one will be able to replicate it for a minimal amount of time. The owner will always be motivated to work more and produce more goods by this happiness.
