Copyright License India

In India copyright license is granted by the owner of the copyright in any existing work or the prospective owner of the copyright in any future work in writing signed by him or his duly authorized agent. When the license is related to future work, it will take into effect when the future work comes into existence. If the beneficiary of the license dies before the work comes into existence then the legal representative of the deceased will entitled to get the benefit of the license. It is the registrar who will grant copyright license to the concerned person after going through a preliminary enquiry and the payment of the royalty in the public account of India. If the licensee breaches the conditions of license then his license will be terminated at once.
