Our team can effectively assist you in your copyright registration needs over protectable works and depositing copies of the said works with the National Library through the Intellectual Property Office. We always recommend to our client to avail of the copyright registration as damages in case of infringement can only be awarded if there is notice to the infringer that the work is covered by a copyright.
