Re: Copyright

No. You can copyright a written expression or textbook or series of instructions. But you can not copyright a method.

Re: Copyright

No. Copyright protects works of authorship (books, magazines, sculpture, architecture, music, etc.).

You may be able to patent the method of selling a product IF your method is novel, useful and non-obvious.

I am a registered patent attorney and I'd be happy to evaluate your method for patentability if you wish. Please feel free to contact me directly.

Best regards and Happy Thanksgiving,
