I’m the bat baron and today we’re going to talk about what copyright is, what it protects and what it doesn’t. So copyright is a form of intellectual property and it protects original works of authorship that are fixed in a tangible medium. With a copyright you get exclusive right to reproduce the
00:16
work, you can make derivative works, you can distribute it, you can perform it and you can display it publicly. But copyright doesn’t cover everything. So, it doesn’t protect ideas. It doesn’t protect facts. It doesn’t protect procedures and systems or short phrases
00:33
or slogans or common symbols or names and titles. Those could fall under patent or maybe trademark law. So, for works created after 1978, the length of a copyright is the life of the author plus 70 years. for works made for higher or for anonymous works is 95 years from
00:51
publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter. So, are you still unsure about what’s protected? We’re here to help. Reach out to the patent baron to make sure your creative rights are secure.
