IPR: INDIAN COPYRIGHT ACT,1957 #PART-5 #shorts #study #credit @YGLAW

In copyright law, Licence and Assignment are two different legal mechanisms for allowing others to use a copyrighted work. Here's a clear comparison:

1. Licence of Copyright

Meaning: A licence allows another person to use the copyright without transferring ownership.

Ownership: Remains with the original copyright holder.

Types:

Exclusive licence – only the licensee can use the work.

Non-exclusive licence – multiple people may use the work.

Compulsory/statutory licence – granted by law in public interest (e.g., Section 31, 31D).

Legal Provision: Section 30 of the Copyright Act, 1957

Example: An author licenses a publisher to publish a book in India only.

2. Assignment of Copyright

Meaning: Assignment transfers ownership of copyright (fully or partially) to another party.

Ownership: Assigned rights become the property of the assignee.

Requirements:

Must be in writing and signed (Section 19)

Should specify work, rights, territory, and duration

Legal Provision: Section 18 & 19

Example: A musician assigns the rights of a song to a record label forever.
