Right of Authorship of copyright under Copyright law in India

Abstract

One of the rights to intellectual property is copyright. To be a property right, copyright poses essential concerns regarding ownership and the processes for copyright exploitation. Authorship and possession are two separate terms in relation to copyright, each of which requires its own specific right. The author has moral rights and even the copyright owners hold economic rights. Before addressing various case laws related to authorship problems, the article addresses authorship mostly in Copyright Law and clarifies what authorship entails in different cases. The paper ends with either the Indian copyright law being scrutinised while being unable to harmonise possible ownership problems.
