Copyright over video classes

(Querist) 29 May 2020 This query is : Resolved 
Please suggest procedures to get copy right over video lectures. Can it be taken in the name of Company whereby all future video content gets covered under this rights??
Raj Kumar Makkad (Expert) 29 May 2020
As per Indian Copyright Law, a copyright does not necessarily need to be registered and starts subsisting in the work from the moment it is created. However, even if you want to get the same registered, it can definitely be done against the subsisting lectures and the company can also be an applicant but a blanket copyright registration cannot be availed for future lectures.

Approach registrar for registration of the copyright.
