Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Copyright
Can I copyright a method of selling a product?
2 Answers from Attorneys
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,
