For computer programs and copyright databases, a work is original if it is the author's own intellectual creation.
- 3Interlego v Tyco- Concerning: whether small modifications made to existing drawings of 'lego' bricks gave rise to a fresh copyright.
- For copyright to exist there must be an original work. Even though modifications are technically significant, if they are not visually significant and are in effect copies of existing works they would not give rise to new copyright. - 4Can 'exxon' this word protected by Copyright?It is not capable of being protected even though a lot of work went into it.
