what are legal formalities to create a educational website ?


17-Nov-2023 (In Trademark & Copyright Law)

I want to make a Education website where I'll put all courses details with Institute and colleges details. I'll also put all courses e-book on website. Is there any illegal point in making this website related to copyright issue. Should I take permission from colleges, that I am putting their college details on my website ? Can I put courses book in text format on website which is written by other author ? Please let me know if there is any illegal point which I should avoid. Thanks

For mentioning the name and details of all the educaltional institue you are required to take their permission in written for using their name and the details of courses must be only furnished by them to you. Regarding the books of auhtora you are required to take license from those authorse to use the text of their books otherwise it will be offence under copyright act.

• You need to take permission from different colleges for putting their names on your web site Yes as this is for a commercial purpose. • You have to be a licensee or owner of copyrights for putting ebooks online for commercial purposes. • You must register the domain name as trademark and register it as a domain name as well for added protection. • Site Contents /design etc created exclusively for you/by you will get copyright protection automatically. • You can approach us for helping you out with all above.

Dear Concerned, It is preferable to have the consent of the colleges before putting their name on your portal / website. In so far as uploading / providing the text of the books by other authors on your website is concerned, the same is not permissible unless explicit copyright permission is obtain from the respective authors.
