\"What<\/a>Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Kelley Way<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cWhat Does Copyright Protect?\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

This is an important question when you\u2019re drawing from someone else\u2019s work to create your own material.<\/strong> What is permissible, and what would be considered infringement?<\/p>\n

Copyright only protects creative expression<\/h2>\n

Copyright only protects creative expression. It does not protect facts or ideas, only the way those facts and ideas are assembled and presented to the world.<\/p>\n

The point of copyright is to encourage creativity<\/strong>, not to restrict the flow of information.<\/p>\n

When there\u2019s a conflict between the protection of creativity and the availability of an idea, the idea usually wins.<\/p>\n

Example #1: Copyright Infringement?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s take an example from an old court case. In this case, someone wrote a book about a new accounting system, including charts readers could use to implement the system. The person then became quite upset to learn that people were copying the charts and selling them to consumers that didn\u2019t want to buy the whole book (and more to the point, were not paying him any royalties). He sued for copyright infringement.<\/p>\n

He lost.<\/strong> The court ruled that the system was a formula<\/strong>, which could not be protected by copyright. The words he used in the book to describe the system were protected, but the man could not protect the system itself.<\/p>\n

But what about the charts? The court ruled that, since the accounting system could not be protected, and the charts were necessary in order to use the accounting system, the charts were also not protected under copyright. This created a new wrinkle in copyright law, which is now called \u201cthe merger doctrine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Essentially,<\/strong> the merger doctrine states that when there are a limited number of ways to express an idea, none of those ways can be protected by copyright.<\/p>\n

Are you confused yet?<\/p>\n

Example #2: Recipes, What Can You Copyright?<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s use another example. Say that you\u2019re creating a recipe.<\/p>\n

Recipe instructions are not protectable<\/strong>, because there are only so many ways you can say \u201cadd 2 eggs\u201d or \u201cbeat the butter and sugar together.\u201d However, you can add creative flourishes, which could be protected under copyright law. For example: \u201cTry not to eat the whole cake at once \u2013 but don\u2019t feel bad if you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

What is Permissible in Copyright Law?<\/h2>\n

One of the best ways to protect yourself from copyright infringement is to know what you can and cannot use without permission.<\/p>\n
