Copyright Illustrations
So what exactly is Copyright?
According to the website, www.copyright.gov, 'copyright is a form of protection provided by the laws of the United States (title 17, U. S.Code) to the authors of “original works of authorship,” including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and certain other intellectual works.' These other intelectual works include computer software, websites, and video games.
The history of copyright is surprisingly ancient. Initially, it were the ancient Greek and Roman scholars who recognized the right of an author on his work. But the idea of copyright remained vauge at best. A solid concept of copyright protection finally came about with the advent of printing in the late 15th century.
In the US, the first copyright act was enacted by the Congress as far back as 1790. Since then, the scope of the act has taken giant strides, culminating in the comprehensive Copyrights Act of 1976. The law mandates that two copies of every copyrightable work be sent to the Copyright office within three months of its creation.
Prior to filing an application for Copyright registration (or Patent, Trademark, Design registration), an individual or company is required to illustrate their copyrightable material in a special and standard format specified by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). While creating patent drawings, it is vital to be aware of the various technical requiremnts, such as size of the sheet, type of the paper, and so on.
Companies are increasingly looking to offload this pre-registration requirement to outsourcing agencies, enabling the companies to concentrate on more pressing issues.
Intellectual property attorneys try to remain a step ahead of the deadlines imposed on them by clients and the US patent office by utilizing the assistance that these outsourcing agencies provide.
