Copyright protection, a form of intellectual property law, keeps your original works of authorship (fixed in a tangible medium of expression) protected. Stated differently, copyright protection extends to the exclusive rights of exploitation of original literary and artistic works expressed in the form of words (text, computer software), music, images, symbols, three-dimensional objects or combination thereof., pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic and sculptural works, motion pictures and other audiovisual works, sound recordings and architectural works. Copyright protection applies only to the expression, not the underlying ideas, facts, systems, or methods of operation, although these forms of intellectual property are protected under a different area of the law. Different regimes treat copyright differently. For example, IP (Intellectual Property) regimes conferring economic rights are referred to as copyright systems whereas IP regimes that incorporate both copyright and moral rights are referred to as authors’ rights. The copyright system prevails in the United States and other common law countries whereas authors’ rights systems prevail in France and other civil law countries.
Other rights that fall under the rubric of copyright and/or authors’ right are neighboring rights and sui generis rights. In the U.S. sui generis protection covers the topography of semiconductor chips. That is, the law provides sui generis protection only for mask works, a stencil of the materials present on or removed from the layers of a semiconductor chip, which is used to etch the circuitry onto the chip.
