Copyrights

You may have a number of copyrights related to your product, company, and even fund raising efforts. Lets identify a few of these.

If your product includes software that accomplishes several tasks, it has underlying source code. This source code itself is protected by copyright.

You may have a product manual that lets your customers know how to set up your product, answers some common questions, and provides contact information for follow-ups. This product manual is protected by copyright.

If you decide to raise money for your business you may meet with a number of investors and show them a presentation that breaks down your product, the market for your product, and your business plans moving forward. This presentation, along with any audio, video, or other components contained in the presentation, is protected by copyright.

The number of materials subject to copyright will invariably increase as time goes on. If you conduct market research, or create a product website, or create an advertisement to sell your product, or create a database of customer information, these aspects are also protected by copyright.
