Overview - first sale doctrine Registration
The first sale doctrine (also called the doctrine of exhaustion in Indian law) holds that once the copyright owner or their authorised agent has sold or distributed a copy of a copyrighted work, the owner's rights over that particular copy are exhausted - the purchaser can resell, lend, or give away that copy without the copyright owner's further permission. In India, this principle applies under Section 14 of the Copyright Act and is relevant to the resale of books, music, software, and now digital goods. Lawxygen advises on the application and limits of the first sale doctrine in commercial contexts.
