The Copyright Act, 1957 does not recognize any copyright in ........

  • A.An Idea
  • B.Computer Software
  • C.Novels
  • D.Songs

Answer: A

The Copyright Act, 1957 does not recognise copyright in an idea.

Copyright protects the expression of an idea, not the idea itself. In R. G. Anand v. Delux Films (1978) the Supreme Court held that there is no copyright in an idea, subject matter, theme or plot; only the form in which it is expressed is protected.

Computer programs are protected as literary works (Section 2(o)), novels are literary works, and songs are protected as literary and musical works and sound recordings.
