Copyright

Copyright is one of the most common forms of IP.  It does not exist in ideas alone, but rather the expression of detailed and original ideas reduced to a material form.  These expressions are called ‘works’.  The Copyright Act protects different kinds of works – the most common being literary, artistic, visual and dramatic works.  Films, television broadcasts, sound recordings and computer programs are also protected.

Please call us if you need help in respect to the protection or breach of copyright.
