the definition of copyright is quite complicated, and depends upon the type of intellectual property to which the copyright applies. very briefly, "copyright" generally means the right to copy - it means that an owner is the only person who may copy his or her work or permit someone else to do so. it generally includes the sole right to publish, produce, reproduce and to perform a work in public. copyright does not protect mere ideas, procedures, discoveries, or facts.
intellectual property can be protected in several different ways, depending upon the type or form in which the ip exists. a traditional invention may be protected by a patent application; an artistic work by a copyright registration, trademark, or industrial design registration; an idea for a cool new circuit by integrated circuit topography legislation, and plant varieties by the plant breeder's legislation.
