Copyright meaning& definition
Legal monopoly that protects published or unpublished original work (for theduration of its author's life plus 50 years) from unauthorized duplication withoutdue credit and compensation. Copyright covers not only books but alsoadvertisements, articles, graphic designs, labels, letters (including emails), lyrics,maps, musical compositions, product designs, etc. According to the majorinternational intellectual-property protection treaties (Berne Convention,Universal Copyright Convention, and WIPO Copyright Treaty) five rights areassociated with a copyright: the right to: (1) Reproduce the work in any form,language, or medium. (2) Adapt or derive more works from it. (3) Make anddistribute its copies. (4) Perform it in public. (5) Display or exhibit it in public. Toacquire a valid copyright, a work must have originality and some modicum ofcreativity. However, what is protected under copyright is the 'expression' or'embodiment' of an idea, and not the idea itself. A copyright is not equivalent oflegal-prohibition of plagiarism (which is an unethical and unprofessional conduct,
but not an offense), and does not apply to factual information.
copyright is a legal right created by the law of a country, that grants the creator of
an original work exclusive rights to its use and distribution, usually for a limited
time, with the intention of enabling the creator (e.g. the photographer of a
photograph or the author of a book) to receive compensation for their
Examples of copyright Copyright law protects a wide range of creations. The most obvious examples of
works that are protected by copyright are, of course, text, books, art, music andphotos. However, there are many other manifestations that are eligible forcopyright protection. Copyright: Any book, any newpaper, and slogans (ie. "Have
it your way")
Patent: The Iphone, any prescription drug, anything unique that someone had todesign or invent.Trademark: Anything that you connect with a company--like the Yahoo "Y", orCoca-Cola's unique lettering the bottle. Sometimes the "Have it your way" iswritten in a special way--that's a trademark.Trade secret: This would be anything that a company does as part of it's

Legal description of copyright
From a legal perspective, works of literature, science or art are also included undercopyright law, whatever the scientific or artistic value of the work; however, this ismainly a legal and perhaps a rather general description. When we describe copyright inmore straightforward terms, the main types of work that it covers are as follows: books, brochures and newspapers; theatrical works; oral presentations; choreographic works; music (with or without words); drawings, paintings, buildings and sculptures; designs; photographic works; and computer programs.

Scope
Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or
"works". Specifics vary byjurisdiction,but these can includepoems,theses,plays and
otherliterary works,motion pictures,choreography,musical compositions,sound
recordings,paintings,drawings,sculptures,photographs,computer
software,radioandtelevisionbroadcasts,andindustrial designs.Graphicdesigns and
industrial designs may have separate or overlapping laws applied to them in some
jurisdictions.[16][17]
Copyright does not cover ideas and information themselves, only the form or mannerin which they are expressed.[18]For example, the copyright to aMickey Mouse cartoon
restricts others from making copies of the cartoon or creatingderivative worksbased
onDisney'sparticularanthropomorphic mouse, but does not prohibit the creation of
other works about anthropomorphic mice in general, so long as they are different
enough to not be judged copies of Disney's.[18]Note additionally that Mickey Mouse is
not copyrighted because characters cannot be copyrighted; rather,Steamboat Willie is
copyrighted and Mickey Mouse, as a character in that copyrighted work, is afforded
protection. In many jurisdictions, copyright law makes exceptions to these restrictions
when the work is copied for the purpose of commentary or other related uses (Seefair
use,fair dealing). Meanwhile, other laws may impose additional restrictions thatcopyright does not such astrademarks andpatents.
Copyright laws are standardized somewhat through international conventions such as
theBerne Convention andUniversal Copyright Convention.These multilateral treaties
have been ratified by nearly all countries, andinternational organizations such as
theEuropean Union orWorld Trade Organization require their member states to
comply with them

A copyright symbol used in copyright notice.
Before 1989, the use of a copyright noticeconsisting of thecopyright symbol (,
the letter Cinside a circle), the abbreviation "Copr.", or the word "Copyright",
followed by the year of the first publication of the work and the name of the copyright
holderwas part of U. S. statutory requirements.[21][22]Several years may be noted if
the work has gone through substantial revisions. The proper copyright notice for
sound recordings of musical or other audio works is asound recording copyright
symbol (, the letter Pinside a circle), which indicates a sound recording copyright,with the letter Pindicating a "phonorecord". Similarly, the phraseAll rights
reservedwas once required to assert copyright.
In 1989 the United States enacted theBerne Convention Implementation Act,
amending the 1976 Copyright Act to conform to most of the provisions of the Berne
Convention. As a result, the use of copyright notices has become optional to claim
copyright, because the Berne Convention makes copyright automatic.[23]However, the
lack of notice of copyright using these marks may have consequences in terms of
reduced damages in an infringement lawsuitusing notices of this form may reduce
the likelihood of a defense of "innocent infringement" being successful.[24]

Transfer and licensing and assignment
DVD:All Rights Reserved.
A copyright, or aspects of it, may be assigned or transferred from one party to
another.[34]For example, a musician who records an album will often sign an
agreement with a record company in which the musician agrees to transfer allcopyright in the recordings in exchange for royalties and other considerations. The
creator (and original copyright holder) benefits, or expects to, from production and
marketing capabilities far beyond those of the author. In the digital age of music,
music may be copied and distributed at minimal cost through theInternet,however
therecord industry attempts to provide promotion and marketing for the artist and his
or her work so it can reach a much larger audience. A copyright holder need not
transfer all rights completely, though many publishers will insist. Some of the rights
may be transferred, or else the copyright holder may grant another party a non-
exclusive license to copy and/or distribute the work in a particular region or for a
specified period of time.
A transfer or licence may have to meet particular formal requirements in order to be
effectively for example under the AustralianCopyright Act 1968 the copyright itself
must be expressly transferred in writing. Under the U.S. Copyright Act, a transfer of
ownership in copyright must be memorialized in a writing signed by the transferor.
For that purpose, ownership in copyright includes exclusive licenses of rights. Thus

exclusive licenses, to be effective, must be granted in a written instrument signed by
the grantor. No special form of transfer or grant is required. A simple document that
identifies the work involved and the rights being granted is sufficient. Non-exclusive
grants (often called non-exclusive licenses) need not be in writing underU.S. law.
They can be oral or even implied by the behavior of the parties. Transfers of copyright
ownership, including exclusive licenses, may and should be recorded in the U.S.Copyright Office. (Information on recording transfers is available on the Office's web
site.) While recording is not required to make the grant effective, it offers important
benefits, much like those obtained by recording a deed in areal estate transaction.
Copyright may also belicensed.Some jurisdictions may provide that certain classes of
copyrighted works be made available under a prescribedstatutory license (e.g.
musical works in the United States used for radio broadcast or performance). This is
also called acompulsory license,because under this scheme, anyone who wishes to
copy a covered work does not need the permission of the copyright holder, but instead
merely files the proper notice and pays a set fee established by statute (or by an
agency decision under statutory guidance) for every copy made.[36]Failure to follow
the proper procedures would place the copier at risk of an infringement suit. Because
of the difficulty of following every individual work,copyright
collectives orcollecting societies andperforming rights organizations (such
asASCAP,BMI,andSESAC)have been formed to collect royalties for hundreds
(thousands and more) works at once. Though this market solution bypasses the
statutory license, the availability of the statutory fee still helps dictate the price per
work collective rights organizations charge, driving it down to what avoidance of
procedural hassle would justify

incopyright notices for works other than sound recordings (which are indicated with thesymbol).

In theUnited States,the copyright notice consists of:[12]
the symbol, or the word "Copyright" or abbreviation "Copr.";
the year of first publication of the copyrighted work; and
an identification of the owner of the copyright, either by name, abbreviation, or other designation
by which it is generally known.

Thecopyleft symbol is a backwards capital letter C in a circle (copyright symbol
mirrored). Because it is unavailable onUnicode,it can be approximated with anopen
O character between parentheses (

with the character U+20DD COMBINING ENCLOSING CIRCLE. It has no legal meaning.[16]
Theregistered trademark symbol is the symbol (the capital letterRenclosed by a

Symbols
The two symbols associated with U.S. trademarks (thetrademark symbol)and (theregistered
trademark symbol)represent the status of a mark and accordingly its level of protection. While
can be used with any common law usage of a mark, may only be used by the owner of a mark
following registration with the relevant national authority, such as theU.S. Patent and Trademark
Office (USPTO or PTO). The proper manner to display either symbol is immediately following the
mark in superscript style

primarily focused on trademark law. The most vital and valuable trademarks in the music business
are the names of bands and individual performers. Band names serve the important function of
identifying the artists goods and services.
First, you should know that you cannot copyright the name of a band. Copyright law does not protectnames, titles, slogans, or short phrases. Copyright protection, however, may be available for a bands
logo design or artwork if it contains sufficient authorship. Also, in some circumstances, a bands logo
may be protected as a trademark.
A trademark is simply a word, phrase, sound, or symbol that represents the commercial reputation
and identity of a product or service in the marketplace. For example, when you see the band name
The Rolling Stones, you identify that name with Mick, Keith, Ronnie, Charlie and the other
musicians who have played in that band. Likewise, when you see that distinctive red tongue logo, you
know that logo represents or identifies a product or service from The Rolling Stones. Hence, The
Rolling Stones and the infamous red tongue are both trademarks.
