Is a database considered intellectual property?
The originality requirement that a database must constitute an intellectual creation by reason of the selection or arrangement of its contents in order to enjoy copyright protection means that some databases are not protected under copyright even if substantial investments have been made to produce them.
Who owns data in a database?
Generally speaking, the person compiling or creating the database will be the author and first owner of the copyright in the database. But again we must dig a little deeper. There might be various different owners of the different aspects of the database.
Is software protected by copyright?
Computer software, more specifically the program code, is protected by copyright as a ""literary work"". There may also be other types of copyright work associated with some computer software.
Are systems copyrighted?
Copyright law does not protect ideas, methods, or systems.
