Copyright Registration in Bangladesh
Copyright registration service is the most effective way to protect your intellectual property in today’s competitive world. Segunbagicha Consultancy helps you register your copyright legally in Bangladesh with absolute ease.
If you create a book, logo, song, or software, you automatically own the work. However, formal copyright registration in Bangladesh provides the strongest legal shield against theft. Therefore, we simplify the entire copyright registration process—from document preparation to certificate issuance through the Copyright Office under the Ministry of Cultural Affairs.
What Is Copyright?
Copyright is a legal right that protects your original creative work from unauthorized copying or distribution. It ensures you maintain full control over your intellectual property. Specifically, protected works include:
Books, articles, and written content.
Songs, music, and lyrics.
Films, short videos, and documentaries.
Paintings, photographs, and digital artwork.
Software, databases, and websites.
Why Copyright Registration Is Important
Registration offers several strategic advantages. Firstly, it serves as definitive legal proof of your ownership. Secondly, it prevents others from duplicating your work without permission. Moreover, it empowers you to take legal action in case of infringement. Consequently, a registered copyright boosts your brand value and facilitates licensing or royalty agreements.
Step-by-Step Process for Copyright Registration
We manage the following steps to ensure a smooth experience:
Identify Work Type: We determine if your work falls under literary, artistic, musical, or software categories.
Document Preparation: Next, our team prepares the application and ownership declarations according to official standards.
Submission: We submit your application to the Copyright Office in Dhaka and handle the government fees.
Scrutiny & Publication: The authorities review the work and publish it to check for any public objections.
Certification: Finally, once the office approves the filing, you receive your official Copyright Registration Certificate.
Required Documents for Copyright Registration
To start the process, you will generally need:
NID or Passport of the applicant.
Trade License or Incorporation Certificate (for businesses).
Two copies of the work (e.g., the book or software code).
Ownership Declaration or Power of Attorney.
Treasury Challan (Government Fee).
