An Analysis of the Rights and Remedies available to Copyright Holders

Rights and Remedies of Copyright Holders

Abstract

Just like the Median Strips running down the middle of the road that safely guides a lonely passenger traversing the dark roads less travelled, similarly, Copyright Laws act like a beacon of hope for innovators who aim to push the boundaries of their fields without hesitation or concern. The Global economy is expanding at an inconceivable rate that astonishes even the most astute economist who
tries to predict any future growth rate. This phenomenon is occurring due to the rapid pace of innovation being carried out by the brightest minds across the globe. Although innovation is a boon, any innovation without rights to protect them would only hamper our growth, as individuals would be discouraged from innovating if they are left unsure whether their inventions and any vested rights
would be protected or not. Protection would refer to proper recognition of the creator (of the invention) and the economic and moral rights that come attached with the creation of an invention. This is where the concept of Copyright Law comes into existence. This paper highlights the author’s research on the topic of the rights of copyright holders and remedies available to them in case of
copyright infringement and the effectiveness of such remedies in modern times.
