Protect the original work behind your success.
Copyright law protects original expression from unauthorised copying, reproduction, distribution or commercial exploitation — granting creators and businesses exclusive rights over their creative works.
REF. IP/03
Protecting expression, not the underlying idea.
Copyright safeguards original literary, artistic, musical, dramatic, cinematographic and technological works. Unlike trademarks, which protect brand identity, copyright protects the creative expression itself.
Copyright arises automatically upon creation of an original work. Formal registration, however, serves as valuable evidence of ownership and significantly strengthens enforcement and legal protection.
