Copyright Law: Protections of Original Expressions, when a person creates a Trademark, ( a word, a phrase, a picture, design or a symbol) these are considered to be a Trademark that the original owner has created and has stated so in a legal way. This is where trademark protection and Original Expressions come into play. Copyright protection is necessary and an intangible right granted by the “the Copyright Act of 1976,” and is also a Federal Statute. These laws are put into place to protect the original proprietor and owner of the original piece created. “The Copyright Act allows creators to obtain a copyright by having an “original work of authorship fixed in any tangible medium of expression, not known or later developed, from which they can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated, either directly or with the aid of a machine or device.” Legal issues in Cyberspace are no different. Laws still apply to the internet and how electronic business is used.

The internet is used worldwide for business`s as well as the public and anyone can access it. There are three models of infringement.
