Objects of copyright

Objects of copyright are various literary, scientific works, as well as works of art, regardless of their purpose and dignity, and in what way they are expressed.

The product is a collection of thoughts, images and ideas that, as a result of the author's work, have their definite expression in a form accessible to perception by various human senses, which, moreover, does not exclude the possibility of reproduction. Objects of copyright are also computer programs, which are also protected by law.

If the work corresponds to the following features, it can be recognized as an object protected by copyright and, accordingly, enjoy this protection:

• It is the result of man's creative activity , it implies the manifestation of the creative abilities of a certain person (or group of people), and is therefore characterized by a unique individuality. It does not matter how valuable the product is for the development of the sphere to which it relates.
• Do not attach importance to that, genius product or rather mediocre. And in that, and in another case, copyrights are protected in the same way. And if the results of the activity are not of a creative nature and can be achieved by other persons, then the work is not considered an object to be protected by these rights.
• If the creation is not expressed externally, and stored only in the author's intentions, it too can not be protected.
• Objects of copyright find their expression both in material form (musical notation, manuscript, mock-up, sculpture, sound recording, video recording, sketch, drawing, picture, photo), and intangible (when it was read out loud publicly).

It should be taken into account that the author's right to a work does not intersect with the right to own a material object in which the given creation is expressed. That is, if you transfer, for example, a picture written by one person to someone else, this will not entail the transfer of copyright to this work. Objects of copyright in order to become recognized as such, do not necessarily have to be made public - demonstrated to the public by public display, publication, performance, broadcast on television or radio, etc.

If the existence of any creation is known only to its author, it is also considered an object of copyright, once it was created in an objective form. Part of the work is also an object of copyrights, including - and the title, if this part meets the above requirements and can be used independently (chapter in the textbook, etc.). A certain character of a work can also be called an object of copyright, if it is an independent result of creative work.

Derivative works - processing, translations, abstracts, annotations, staging, reviews, summaries, arrangements - are also subject to copyright protection. The creator of these works can use copyright, if he took into account all the rights of the author of the work that was altered, translated, etc.

Thus, the following types of copyright objects are distinguished:

• Pronounced verbally (through public speaking).
• Written in writing (manuscript or sheet music).
• Images (drawings, paintings, drawings, frames).
• Having a three-dimensional shape (structures or sculptures).
• Audio or video.

Not protected by these rights and can not be positioned as a specific object of copyright law concept, idea, principle, method, system, solutions, organizational and technical methods, programming languages, facts, discoveries.
