A copyright is an intellectual property right which attaches to original works of authorship upon being fixed to a tangible medium. A copyright can protect works in the following categories: literary works (including computer programs), musical works, dramatic works, choreographic works, graphic/sculptural works, audiovisual works, sound recordings, and architectural works. Registration of a copyright is required to bring a lawsuit to enforce a copyright, and timely registration of a copyright may avail litigation advantages and valuable remedies in an enforcement scenario.
