    To register your feature film script with the Indian Copyright Office, you can follow these steps: Visit the Copyright Office website (copyright.gov.in) and download the Form IV application for registration of a literary work. Fill out the form with the necessary details of your script, including title, authorship, and language. Attach a copy of your script, along with proof of authorship, such as a self-attested declaration. Pay the application fee of INR 500 (as of September 2021), either online or through a demand draft in favor of "Registrar of Copyrights" payable at New Delhi. Submit the completed form and supporting documents to the Copyright Office in person or by registered post. The processing time for copyright registration can vary, but it typically takes a few weeks to a few months to receive a copyright certificate. It's important to note that copyright registration is not mandatory in India, but it can provide legal evidence of ownership and help protect your script from infringement. The cost of registration is INR 500 as of September 2021, as mentioned above. However, if you use the services of a copyright lawyer or agent, their fees will be in addition to the registration fees.
