- 1What about other intellectual property rights? Intellectual property (IP) protects creations of the mind, and copyright is one type of IP. Patents, trademarks, and trade secrets are other types of IP and are different than copyright. For example, a utility patent is granted by the government and protects certain inventions or processes, while a design patent protects designs for articles of manufacture, and a plant patent protects plant varietals. Trademark law, on the other hand, protects words, names, symbols, or devices used as a source identifier on goods and services. Trade secret law protects valuable commercial information that is kept secret. For more information on intellectual property, take a look at a few intellectual property toolkits, developed by the Copyright Office and by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.What if there is change in ownership?
Document Recordation
The Copyright Office also records documents related to Copyright. This is known as Recordation, and means that the Office reviews and accepts documents, and keeps a record of, the documents people provide. Recordation relates to three different kinds of documents: transfers of copyright ownership, other documents relating to a copyright, and notices of termination, which authors or their heirs use when terminating certain transfers or licenses. - 2What is statutory licensing? Statutory licenses are some of the limitations in the Copyright Act. They relate to certain uses of musical compositions, sound recordings, and cable and satellite programming. For comprehensive information on musical compositions and sound recordings, we have a number of useful resources like our Musical Compositions and Sound Recordings Circular and our dedicated Music Modernization Act page. For information on cable and satellite uses, visit our Licensing Division page.Ready for more information?
