Huges , Larycs of country love , as well as advertising slogans, railway time table, an
examination paper. The fact that literary work includes works that are spoken, means that
spontaneous conversation, interviews , and the like the may also be protected (although, as we
shall see, copy right does not subsists in spoken word unless it is recorded.
NAMES, TRADE MARKS AND TITLES:
Despite the fact that names and titles are expressions in writing or print whereas the UK refuses
to protect them as literary works. Thus, invented words such as Exxon (which had been invented
by Esso Petroleum as a Trade name Titles of games shows such as opportunity knocks, or song
titles such as the main who broke the bank at mount Carlo have been held not to be protected
by copy right as litrary works.
costumes( these might be protected as artistic works). It has been said that film will usually be
dramatic work where there is Cinematic work on the film. In some limited circumstances a work
of action might include sports, such as gymnastics or synchronized swimming. The requirement
that to be a dramatic work the subject matter must be capable of being performed initially
operated in a restricted manner. In the Hughie Green case Green was the originator and creator of
talent show called, opportunity knocks. A program which followed a particular format: certain
catchphrases were used, sponsored introduced contestant, and a clapometer was used to measure

The failure Privy Council to protect television formats in the Hughiu Green case prompted from
a number of successful attempts to have formats recognized by British Law. The proponents of
format rights appeal to the moral usual and economic arguments to support their case. Those
opposed to format rights noted the problems of defining what a format is , the anticompetitive

MUSICAL WORK:

intended to be sung , spoken or performed with the help of music. Thus , the words and the
music of songs and similar works are treated as the subject matter of distinct copy rights. A song
therefore consists of both a musical and literary work. The tune and lyrics respectively.
There has been very little discussion in the UK as to what is meant by music , though it is
normally understood to include melody , Harmony and Rhythm. Consequently the contribution
made by a drummer in a rock banned to a song was recognized a spot of the musical work. How
the court would react to more Avantgardework, such as silence is more difficult to predict.
According to Newspaperreport It was recently claimed that the group , the planets , had infringed
copy right work by John Cag , entitled 4 mints 33 seconds , a work of silence apparently the
bases for the claim was that the planets included 60s of silence on its recording , and a member
of the group claimed that this was an improvement on Cags efforts because they have achieved
in 60s what he accomplished in 273! The case was settled with Cag apparently being paid a 5
figure sum.
ARTISTIC WORK:
The fourth category of works protected by copy right is Artistic work the first Artistic work
protected by statute were engravings 1735. These were followed by Calico design 1787 ,
