What
Does Copyright Protect?
Copyright, a form of intellectual property law, protects original works
of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works,
such as poetry, novels, movies, songs, computer software, and architecture.
Copyright does not protect facts, ideas, systems, or methods of operation,
although it may protect the way these things are expressed. See Circular
1, Copyright Basics, section "What Works Are Protected."
Can
I copyright my website?
The original authorship appearing on a website may be protected by copyright.
This includes writings, artwork, photographs, and other forms of authorship
protected by copyright. Procedures for registering the contents of a website
may be found in Circular 66, Copyright Registration for Online Works.
Can
I copyright my domain name?
Copyright law does not protect domain names. The Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), a nonprofit organization that
has assumed the responsibility for domain name system management, administers
the assignation of domain names through accredited registers.
How
do I protect my recipe?
A mere listing of ingredients is not protected under copyright
law. However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial
literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when
there is a collection of recipes as in a cookbook, there may be a basis
for copyright protection. Note that if you have secret ingredients to
a recipe that you do not wish to be revealed, you should not submit your
recipe for registration, because applications and deposit copies are public
records. See FL 122, Recipes.
Can
I copyright the name of my band?
No. Names are not protected by copyright law. Some names may be protected
under trademark law. Contact the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, 800-786-9199,
for further information.
How
do I copyright a name, title, slogan or logo?
Copyright does not protect names, titles, slogans, or short phrases. In
some cases, these things may be protected as trademarks. Contact the U.S.
Patent & Trademark Office, 800-786-9199, for further information.
However, copyright protection may be available for logo artwork that contains
sufficient authorship. In some circumstances, an artistic logo
may also be protected as a trademark.
How
do I protect my idea?
Copyright
does not protect ideas, concepts, systems, or methods of doing something.
You may express your ideas in writing or drawings and claim copyright
in your description, but be aware that copyright will not protect the
idea itself as revealed in your written or artistic work.
Does
my work have to be published to be protected?
Publication
is not necessary for copyright protection.
Can
I register a diary I found in my grandmother's attic?
You
can register copyright in the diary only if you own the rights to the
work, for example, by will or by inheritance. Copyright is the right of
the author of the work or the author's heirs or assignees, not of the
one who only owns or possesses the physical work itself. See Circular
1, Copyright Basics, section “Who Can Claim Copyright.”
How
do I protect my sighting of Elvis?
Copyright
law does not protect sightings. However, copyright law will protect your
photo (or other depiction) of your sighting of Elvis. Just send it to
us with a Form VA application and the filing fee. No one can lawfully
use your photo of your sighting, although someone else may file his own
photo of his sighting. Copyright law protects the original photograph,
not the subject of the photograph.
Does
copyright protect architecture?
Yes. Architectural works became subject to copyright protection on December
1, 1990. The copyright law defines “architectural work” as
“the design of a building embodied in any tangible medium of expression,
including a building, architectural plans, or drawings.” Copyright
protection extends to any architectural work created on or after December
1, 1990. Also, any architectural works that were unconstructed and embodied
in unpublished plans or drawings on that date and were constructed by
December 31, 2002, are eligible for protection. Architectural designs
embodied in buildings constructed prior to December 1, 1990, are not eligible
for copyright protection. See Circular 41, Copyright Claims in Architectural
Works
Can
I get a star named after me and claim copyright to it?
No.
There is a lot misunderstanding about this. Names are not protected by
copyright. Publishers of publications such as a star registry may register
a claim to copyright in the text of the volume [or book] containing the
names the registry has assigned to stars, and perhaps the compilation
of data; but such a registration would not extend protection to any of
the individual star names appearing therein. For further information on
copyright protection and names, see Circular 34, Copyright Protection
Not Available for Names, Titles, or Short Phrases
