Quick Summary

This discussion clarifies whether a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) can register copyright. While copyright is typically in the author's name, an LLP can register it with a partner's resolution if a partner is the author. If copyright infringement occurs, the LLP itself is generally liable for compensation due to the limited liability of its partners. However, individual partners may still be liable if they directly contributed to the violation during the LLP's operations.

Copyright registeration though is made in the name of the author but if one of the partners is author then with specific resolution of the partners, the same can also be got made in the name of Limited Liability Partnership.

As the liability of the partners in limited in LLP so in case of violation of copyright requiring the liability of the compansation, the same shall have to be borne by partnership firm itself.

Yes, it can be registered in the name of LLP.
Partners shall have to compensate, if they have violated copyrights in the operation/ functioning of the LLP.

Yes is the reply. LLP is liable for violation.
