Copyrights
When you’ve produced an original work of authorship, you’ll need a copyright to protect it. Copyrights protect against unauthorized reproduction, modification, and distribution of your work, ensuring that your original work remains your own.
Copyrights are essential for music, literary works, visual arts, computer software, architecture, photography, and other original works. While copyrights do not protect the ideas or concepts themselves, they do protect the form, way, or manner in which the idea or concept is expressed. As with patents and trademarks, copyrights are intellectual property and subject to each country’s own laws and regulations.
