Is selling softwares witout registration legal in India?

If you want to protect your business rights you should do the registration.

Softwares are needed to register under copy right Act ( some software need only registration under copy right act ) in some other cases you are required to register it  under Patent Act also.

Another thing is that apart from this, you are required to protect the business name of your product  under Trade mark Act also.

Thanks for the information. Is that means selling software is legal without registration in India?

selling software in india is illegal but it depends on the invented software, if it is a new invention thn you must have patent rights for that.

Thank you very much Varun.

      Games i developed are completely my own. They do not infringe any copyrights. However they are registered nowhere. I published these games at Ovi ( a site by Nokia). Games are free but they contain ads inside, & i receive money from an ad-company.

      I got this information about the copyright from few sites, that moment you made a software, you hold the copyright for that software. But to prove it better in a court, you should register to a copyright office, but it is not mandatory. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

      Is it ok to receive money for these games without any company or business registration? If not, what type registrations should I do?

      Thank you very much.
