What can be protected using copyright? Exhaustive lists of works covered by copyright are usually not to be found in legislation. Nonetheless, broadly speaking, works commonly protected by copyright throughout the world include: - literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works, newspaper articles; - computer programs, databases; - films, musical compositions, and choreography; - artistic works such as paintings, drawings, photographs, and sculpture; - architecture; - advertisements, maps, and technical drawings. Copyright protection extends only to expressions, and not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such. Copyright may or may not be available for a number of objects such as titles, slogans, or logos, depending on whether they contain sufficient authorship.
