While copyrights do not protect ideas, most jurisdictions do consider copyright to exist upon fixation without the need to register. Copyright is fixed to a time-constraint and eventual expires, putting the work into the public domain for fair use without requiring permission.This book explores the scope of patents, the history, terms, patentability of a subject matter, the application and status process, plus much more.Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books.
