  Copyright law appliesto intellectual property that are “original works of authorship.” Common types of works protected by copyright include literary, artistic, and musical works. Copyright is automatic, so it applies as soon as the work has been created.

After this time period has expired, works fall into the public domain and are free from copyright restrictions. WHAT DOES COPYRIGHT PROTECT?

  There are anumber of exceptions and limitations to copyright. For example, works produced by federal employees in the course of their employment are in the public domain in the United States. Functional concepts, names, and logos are typically covered by patent or trademark law, if protected at all, rather than copyright. Exceptions in copyright law permit some uses of copyrighted works for libraries, public broadcasters, and around efforts to make works more accessible to those with disabilities. Copyright protects the specific expression of a work - the words - but not the underlying idea. ARE THERE LIMITS TO WHAT COPYRIGHT PROTECTS?

  Fair use aprovision of copyright law that allows the use of a copyrighted work without permission from the copyright holder under specific circumstances. News reporting, teaching, and parody are all examples of activities that could qualify as fair use. Fair use is evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and considers the purpose of the use, how much of the original work is used, and how it impacts the market for the original work. WHAT ABOUT FAIR USE?
