Copyright Does Not Protect Ideas

A fundamental principle in empowering women creators is distinguishing between ideas and expression. Copyright protects the expression of ideas—such as written words, music, and art—not the ideas themselves. This means you can copyright a novel you wrote, but not the concept behind it. Understanding this can shape how you share and protect your intellectual property.
