Appellate forum restructured: appellate functions shifted to specialized commercial jurisdiction and direct superior court appeals from Registrar. The amendments replace the Appellate Board with a Commercial Court (and in certain places the High Court), remove sections establishing the Appellate Board, refine the definitions of 'Commercial Court' and 'prescribed,' and modify multiple provisions accordingly. Appeals from the Registrar of Copyrights now lie to the High Court within three months, are to be heard by a single judge (with power to refer to a Bench), permit a further appeal to a Bench from a single judge decision within three months, and exclude time taken to obtain certified copies from the limitation period.
