Legal Question in Intellectual Property in India

Under the Indian Copyright Act, there is a provision fir fair use. If the contents of your books are electronically communicated and used for commercial purpose for making monetary benefits, then you can take action legally for infringement of your copyright, but the commercial use and exploitation have to be proved beyond any doubts with evidences.

You can file a suit for injunction and damages for the violation of copyright vested on you. the scope and context of fair use has to examined. For Eg. the case of OUP against Delhi University in Delhi High Court w.r.t fair use is pending and the Defendants have been temporarily injuncted from copying and distributing the copyrighted material.
