📊 Answers
Did you get them all right? Let's check!
Question 1: B — The expression of ideas (creative works)
Copyright protects how ideas are expressed — books, music, art, code — not the underlying ideas themselves. Brand names and inventions fall under trademark and patent law.
Question 2: C — The life of the author plus at least 50 years
The Berne Convention sets a minimum of life + 50 years, though many countries (like the US and EU members) extend this to life + 70 years.
Question 3: C — No, copyright is automatic upon creation
As soon as you create an original work in a fixed form, it's automatically protected by copyright. Registration provides extra legal benefits but is not required.
