The Idea Behind PAIL® Insights
Why “My Way”?
Frank Sinatra’s My Way captures something fundamental about intellectual property: the distinction between an idea and the individual expression of it.
Copyright does not give someone ownership of an idea itself, but it can protect the particular way that idea is expressed through music, literature, art and other creative works.
That principle of creating, building and expressing something your way sits at the heart of this blog. PAIL® Insights explores the legal issues that arise when creativity, technology and commerce meet — and the rights, relationships and decisions that determine who can control and benefit from what has been created.
