Overview

You've no doubt seen them many times. Those little © symbols at the bottom of the page in books, magazines and even on websites. But, have you ever thought about whether your engineering drawings can be copyrighted? What about your designs? If so, do you have to do anything to obtain a copyright? And just what kind of protection can you get by obtaining a copyright? Can another engineer copy your work if you don't obtain copyright protection?

In this course, you will learn about the copyrightable aspects of engineering drawings, plans and designs. You will learn what you can and cannot copyright.
