Copyright Objection in India – Complete Guide by Mequintrax

Introduction to Copyright Objection

When a creator applies for Copyright Registration in India, the Copyright Office may raise objections if the work lacks originality, is similar to an existing registered work, or contains filing errors. Additionally, third parties can oppose a copyright application if they believe it infringes their rights.


Handling a copyright objection is critical—improper replies or missed deadlines may lead to rejection of the application. At Mequintrax Digital Services, we provide expert consultation, legal drafting, and representation to ensure objections are resolved smoothly and your intellectual property remains protected under the Copyright Act, 1957.

What is Copyright Objection?

  • A copyright objection is a formal notice issued by the Copyright Registrar or a third party challenging the validity of a copyright application.

    • Registrar’s Objection: Raised due to issues in application, originality, or classification.
    • Third-Party Opposition: Filed when someone claims prior rights or disputes the ownership of the applied work.

    Common Reasons for Copyright Objection in India

    • ❌ Similarity with an already registered copyright
    • ❌ Lack of originality or insufficient proof of authorship
    • ❌ Incomplete or incorrect documentation in the application
    • ❌ Wrong classification of work type (literary, artistic, musical, etc.)
    • ❌ False claims or disputes over ownership
    • ❌ Technical errors or missing details in the application form
