Good Day,
Hope you are well and healthy.
With regards to the following registration: TXU002509017 / 2025-07-26
The copyright notes states the following: Regarding authorship information: Ideas not copyrightable. 17 USC 102(b). Registration extends to text contained in deposited work.
I have the following understanding:
The Compact Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus (hard copy) provides the following definitions:
Idea - (1) a thought or suggestion about a possible course of action (2) a mental picture or impression (3) a belief (4) the aim or purpose
Design - (1) a plan or drawing produced before something is made (2) the production of such plans or drawings (3) purpose or deliberate planning (4) a decorative pattern
Ideas are not copyrightable, but plans, planning, drawings or a combination of planning, plans and drawings are copyrightable. Essentially, designs are copyrightable. I only file Designs.
Ideas are intangible entities. Patents and Copyrights capture expressions of ideas in recorded form e.g. Designs
Since ideas are intangible entities, I struggle to understand the relevance of the copyright notes highlighted above. Please explain.
In addition to the above rationale, I have been issued 28 previous applications without the same copyright notes amendments. Why does this application differ?
This situation has implications on the digital registrations and certification.
There is also an assertion that copyright law protects expressions in perceivable medium, this subject application and the others satisfy this criteria.
Thank you in anticipation of your timely response.
