COPY RIGHT PROTECTION OF COMPUTER PROGRAMMES IN INDIA

To understand the copyright protection of computer programs, it would be useful to know the basic technology and technical terms involved. In this paper software and computer programs / programs will be used interchangeably. A program, written by the programmer in higher level language which is in human readable form, i.e BASIC, FORTRAN and COBOL is called source code. The main function of the computer programs is to tell the processor what need to do and it must be in binary form. Therefore computer work in binary code (a series of 0’s and 1’s). A complier is a computer program, which converts the source code into binary code. This binary code is readable by machine which is also called object code. A computer operating system is used to programme the computers. An application program must be loaded into the computer, to carry out specific function which inform the operating system what to do. An application program consists of a number of routines or subroutines. Normally the programmer starts by creating a flow chart of the routine which creates the programs. Then these routines are translated into source code. Consumers of computer software cannot normally access to the source code 1, because the source code, is protectable by copy right law, to the extent it is original expression under literary work whereas object code that basically runs on the computer is considered as simple part of a machine, particularly when stored in ROM. Hence computer programs are regarded as intellectual property that is why both source code and object code, operating system, application software are protected as literary work 2 under the copyright act, 1957which grants the protection to original expression but not the idea.
