No Copyright Protection For Title Of Literary Work
Under the Copyright Act, 'Computer
database' is included in the definition of 'literary work'. Therefore, copying
a computer database, or copying and disturbing a database amounts to
infringement of copyright for which civil and criminal remedies can be
initiated.
However, to obtain copyright
protection for a compilation, it must exhibit some creativity of originality in
selection or arrangement of contents of the compilation. There has been no
clear pronouncement by the Indian courts on the concept of originality and each
case is decided on the basis of its peculiar, 'facts and circumstances.'
