More about Copyright Objection Reply & Legal Defence
What is a Copyright Objection?
A Copyright Objection occurs in two main ways:
1. Discrepancy Notice: The Registrar finds technical errors (incomplete forms, insufficient documents).
2. Contradiction Notice: A third party objects, claiming the work is theirs or infringes their existing rights.
Both require a detailed and legally sound written reply within 30 days of receiving the notice. Failure to respond means the Registrar proceeds to reject your application.
Importance of the Reply
The legal reply (or response to the notice) is the most critical document in the entire process. It must:
- Establish Authorship
- Provide irrefutable proof that you are the creator.
- Refute Claims
- Provide legal and factual arguments against the opposing party's claims.
Questions
Frequently asked
Something else on your mind? Call the office - it is always the same number.
What is the fee for filing the reply?
There is no government fee for filing the official reply to a discrepancy notice. The cost is only for professional legal assistance and drafting the defense.
What happens if I miss the 30-day deadline?
If the deadline is missed, the Registrar will reject your application. You would have to file a completely new application (and pay the government fee again) to restart the process.
What is a Contradiction Notice?
A Contradiction Notice means a third party has filed a formal objection, claiming that the work is theirs or that you are not the original creator. This requires a full legal and factual defense.
