False Copyright website
It has come to the no淔�ce of the Department of Industrial Policy & Promo淔�on (DIPP), Ministry of Commerce &
Industry that a website www.copyright.in is crea淔�ng a false impression that it is the official website of the copyright
registra淔�on office in India and invi淔�ng applica淔�ons for protec淔�on of the various works i.e. literary, ar淔�s淔�c, drama淔�c,
musical, sound recording and cinematographic films along with its evidences. This claim is totally fraudulent and crea淔�ng
confusion among general public.
DIPP and Copyright Office have no rela淔�on with this website. Hence, all concerned are advised that they should not make
any payment or submit applica淔�on forms on‐line or otherwise take any service rela淔�ng to copyright registra淔�on or any
other ac淔�vity rela淔�ng to copyright through this website. DIPP or Copyright Office will not be responsible for any damages
or loss in this regard.
The authorised and authen淔�c copyright office website is www.copyright.gov.in. For any copyright registra淔�on and
other related issues on copyright, only this official website should be used. The ma消�er has already been referred to the
concerned Ministries to block the fake website i.e. www.copyright.in and ini淔�ate legal ac淔�on.
