    multiple countries at the same
    time.
    Copyright
    Copyright (or author's right) is a legal
    term used to describe the rights that
    creators have over their literary and
    artistic works.
    Works covered by copyright range from
    books, music, paintings, sculpture, and
    films, to computer programs, databases,
    advertisements, maps, and technical
    drawings.
    Under section 106 of the 1976 Copyright Act, the owner of the copyright has
    the exclusive right to do (or authorize others to do) the following:

    • Reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords.


    • Prepare derivative works based upon the work.
    • Distribute copies or phonorecords of the work to the public by sale or other transfer
    of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending.
    • Perform the work publicly, in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and
    choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works.

    symbol, design, or other
    indicator that is used to
    distinguish the source of goods
    from one party from the goods of
    others.
    TRADE SECRETS
    A trade secret is information that
    belongs to a business that is
    generally unknown to others.
    Trade secrets need not meet
    many of the stringent
    requirements of patent law,
    enabling a broader class of assets
    and activities to be protectable.
    For information to qualify as a trade secret under the Uniform Trade Secret Act, the
    information must meet the following three criteria:

    • The information must not be generally known or readily


    ascertainable through legitimate means.
    • The information must have economic importance that is
    contingent upon its secrecy.
    • The trade secret holder must exercise reasonable measures
    to protect the secrecy of the information.
