Can Ideas Be Copyrighted?
It is important to note that copyright only protects original works of authorship. In other words, what is protected is the original expression of the idea, not the idea itself. For example, when you write a book, only the actual content of the book will be protected, not the idea behind it. In this way, someone else is entitled to write another book based on the same idea expressed in a different way. That is also why names, titles, colors are not considered unique or original enough to be included in the copyright protection.
