What Copyright Can Do for You
A very wide range of creative works - such as books, music, paintings, photographs, sculptures, architecture, films, computer programs, video games and original databases - are protected by copyright.
You can really boost the value of your start-up if you give some consideration to the benefits of copyright.

Ideas are not protected, but your expression of an idea is unique and cannot be copied
You can use works created by other people
After a period of time, copyright no longer applies
