What does copyright legally protect?

  1. Physical properties of a product

  2. Business strategies of a corporation

  3. The unique work of the originator from unauthorized use

  4. Trade secrets within a company

The correct answer is: The unique work of the originator from unauthorized use

Copyright legally protects the unique expressions of ideas created by an individual, such as literature, art, music, and other original works. This protection means that the originator has exclusive rights to use and distribute their work, preventing unauthorized use or reproduction by others. Copyright does not cover the underlying ideas or concepts within a work but rather how those ideas are uniquely expressed. This legal framework ensures that creators can control the use of their original works, allowing them to benefit financially and creatively from their contributions. In contrast, other options, such as physical properties, business strategies, or trade secrets, are protected under different legal frameworks like patents or trade secret laws, which do not fall under the scope of copyright.
