Copyrights, Patents, and Trademarks FAQs
The owner of a registered copyright enjoys the ability of blocking the unauthorized copying or public performance of a work protected by copyright. Depending on how old a work is, whether or not copyright was renewed, when the work was published (if at all), and whether or not it is a work for hire, the U.S. copyright term for a work may be 28 years, 56 years, the life of the author plus 50 years, 75 years from the publication date, or 100 years from the date of creation. The reader will appreciate that these terms are much longer than the 17-year or 20-year term of a U.S. utility patent.

Copyright law provides for protection of original works of authorship including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, cinematographic, photographic and sound recording works.

Expression on electronic media is considered to be a tangible form of expression.
