Re: Html copyright

Copyright protects a wide variety of intellectual properties, including pictures and words, e.g.,

works of art (paintings, sculpture, photographs, jewelry designs, etc.) literary works, (books, song lyrics, poetry,) as well as choreography, sound and video recordings, and other items.

Copyright protects the author's original creative expression as contained in the work but DOES NOT usually extend to any IDEA, procedure, process, method, system, discovery, NAME or short title or slogan.

To the extent that it is both original and expressive and/or part of a greater expressive work (such as a web page) software code and html should be eligible for copyright protection.

While COPYRIGHT PROTECTION may be available for the unique expressive aspects of your idea, plan, marketing approach or recipe:

(e.g., "a pinch of sugar, a dash of salt, smoke a cigar and drink a malt") it may not be sufficient

to protect the actual recipe or formula: (e.g., 1/2 tsp: sugar, 1/4 tsp: salt).

Copyright protection under the current act need not be renewed and spans a considerable amount of time which can last for many years. For details, go to www.copyrightpros.com.
