Copyright is an unregistered right that exists when an original work comes into being. It is a legal term used to define creators’ rights over their literary and artistic works, including works covered by copyright ranging from books, technical drawings, and films to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps, music, paintings, and sculpture. Copyright protection can only be applied to expressions and does not apply to operational methods, processes, mathematical concepts, and more. Furthermore, copyright is not available for several objects such as titles, captions, slogans, quotations, or logos. Finally, it solely depends on whether copyright spans over a limited period, generally known as the term or duration of copyright protection. Therefore, copyright lives and dies.
