FW: Is I voilating copy right act ?
by Vyasamoorthy＠icicikp.com 02 Dec '04

02 Dec '04

Dear Mr Vijaykumar Please find out the year in which the book was published and the year of death of author. Copyright for the book exists from the date of creation/publication of the book through out the lifetime of the author and up to fifty years after the death of the author - (enjoyed by his heirs). This means that during an author's lifetime and upto fifty years after his death, you can not copy without obtaining a permission to do so. In simpler terms, as of today (- we are in 2004), books whose authors are dead and gone before 1954 are safe to be copied. Once the copyright expires as indicated here, You can freely digitise and make available digitised version for use among your customers. This applies to Books published in India. Merely because a book has gone out of print you can not copy or digitise a book. ICICI Knowledge Park houses an Intellectual Property Cell dealing with Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks etc. For further help you may contact : Mr Subhajit Shah at: subhajit(a)icicikp.com Hope this is useful.
