Copy right procedure takes time.
In fact, acquisition of copyright is automatic and it does not require any formality. However, certificate of registration of copyright and the entries made therein serve as prima facie evidence in a court of law with reference to dispute relating to ownership of copyright.

step by step formality in copy rights proceedings:
• The owner can register his creative work for copyrights in India by submitting a separate application for each of his/her works at the copyright office in New Delhi.
• The applicant should remit the relevant fee along with the application.
• The copyright office will issue a filing date, a receipt and a filing number for the registration.
• Examination of the application will be done as long as there are no objections.
• The office will issue a registration certificate on satisfying all the conditions.
• In cases, where there are objections, the owner has to respond within a month. The office will provide an opportunity where both parties can express the objections.
• Published or unpublished work can apply for copyright registration.
this is for your further clarification..
