Question and options
A singer who wishes to assign the rights to reproduce her original work can do so under the law of:
- Copyrights
- Trademark

Correct answer: A - Copyrights
The right to reproduce an original work is part of copyright, and section 18 of the Copyright Act, 1957 lets the owner assign it in writing, wholly or partly. Trade marks protect brand signs, patents protect inventions and geographical indications protect goods linked to a place, so none of them covers reproduction of a creative work.
