Characteristics of art works

1. Originality

The so-called originality means that the work must be created independently by the author and not plagiarized or copied from others. Originality is different from creativity under patent law and distinctiveness under trademark law. Theoretically, even if two works are very similar in content and form, if they are indeed created independently by the authors, they will be regarded as original.

2. Reproducibility

That is, the work must be perceived by others and can be copied. A work that constitutes copyright protection must be perceivable by others. Ideas or storylines that are still in the writer's mind do not constitute a work because they cannot be perceivable by others. Can be perceived by others, including direct perception through the human body's senses, and also including being perceived by others with the help of machinery, equipment, etc. The work must also be fixed on a certain material carrier.

Oral creations such as impromptu speeches, lectures, court debates, etc., works that are not fixed in any carrier. However, in order for oral works to be protected, they must still be in a certain material form, such as being recorded or recorded by others. Without being fixed, oral works have no practical protection. The law recognizes the copyright of oral works, and the author is the dictator, not the recorder or copyer who fixes it.
