The Indian Copyright Law under the Indian Copyright of 1957 is the true manifestation of the Berne Convention of Copyrights, of which India is an active member. The law clearly states that the owner has the sole right on his copyright. The law not only protects works of art from ‘theft’ but also protects dramatic, artistic and musical works along with cinematography films and sound recording. Violation of copyright law 1957 is an offense and is punished likewise.

It can be directly filed at the official Indian patent office or through a patent cooperation treaty that has corresponding Indian applications or even through conversational patent application. The applications filed directly at the Indian patent office must be accompanied with a complete specification. However in case of PCT/patent filing the applicant must file the entire specification of the invention. In case you want to complete specification application, it should be filed before 12 months of the date of filing provisional specification.
