Ideas, Their Time Has Come: An Argument and a Proposal for Copyrighting Ideas.

Hopkins, David B.

Albany Law Review, v46 n2 p443-73 Win 1982

Exclusion of ideas from copyright protection is an antiquated and indefensible notion. Traditional infringement tests do not provide adequate incentive or protection to idea creators. Innovations such as limited duration monopoly or own/sell option are reasonable. (AVAIL: Albany Law School of Union University, 80 New Scotland Ave., Albany, NY 12208, $3.50) (MSE)
