4. COPYRIGHT
Definition
Copyright is a legal concept that gives the creator of an original
work the exclusive rights to use, distribute, and profit from their
creation.
Copyright law varies from country to country, so it's always a good
idea to consult with a legal expert.
5. COPYRIGHT
Definition
Breaking copyright law can result in various punishments,
including injunctions, damages, fines, and criminal penalties.
The specific punishments for breaking copyright law will depend on
the severity of the infringement and the jurisdiction where it takes
place.
6. COPYRIGHT
Use of Copyright
There are three basic requirements that a work must meet to be
protected by copyright. The work must be:
Original
Work of Authorship
Fixed
7. COPYRIGHT
Use of Copyright
Original: To be original, a work must merely be independently
created. In other words, it cannot be copied from another.
There is no requirement that the work be novel (as in patent
law), unique, imaginative or inventive. A work need only
demonstrate a very small amount of creativity in order to meet
the originality requirement. Very few creations fail to satisfy
the minimum creativity requirement.
8. COPYRIGHT
Use of Copyright
A Work of Authorship: To qualify as a work of authorship for
the purposes of copyright protection, a work must be a
product of creative expression that falls under a category of
copyrightable subject matter. Copyrightable subject matter
includes a wide range of works, including literary works,
musical works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works,
derivative works, compilations, and many others.
9. COPYRIGHT
Use of Copyright
Fixed: To meet the fixation requirement a work must be fixed
in a tangible medium of expression. Protection attaches
automatically to an eligible work the moment the work is fixed.
A work is considered to be fixed so long as it is sufficiently
permanent or stable to permit it to be perceived, reproduced,
or otherwise communicated for a period of more than
transitory duration.
10. COPYRIGHT
Copyright Laws
Copyright law protects the expressive elements of a broad
range of works—including books, graphical works, dramatic
works, choreography, musical compositions, sound recordings,
films, sculpture, architectural works, and computer programs—
but does not extend to facts, ideas, or utilitarian aspects of
such works.

information that are kept secret by a business to give them a
competitive edge.
16. TRADESECRET
Definition
To be considered a trade secret, the information must be valuable
and not generally known to the public.
Trade secrets are protected under both state and federal laws in
the United States, as well as under international agreements.
17. TRADESECRET
Use of Tradesecret
In general, to qualify as a trade secret, the information must be:
commercially valuable because it is secret,
be known only to a limited group of persons, and
be subject to reasonable steps taken by the rightful holder of the
information to keep it secret, including the use of confidentiality
agreements for business partners and employees.
18. TRADESECRET
Use of Tradesecret
To protect a trade secret, a business must take reasonable steps to
keep the information confidential, such as using non-disclosure
agreements and limiting access to the information.
If someone misappropriates a trade secret, the owner of the trade
secret may be entitled to damages, injunctive relief, and other legal
remedies to protect their interests.
