Music
Musical compositions, including lyrics and melodies, are legally protected against unlicensed use.
Film & Radio
Movies, documentaries, radio broadcasts, and audio-visual content are copyrighted to ensure rights.
Theatre
Dramatic performances, scripts, choreographic works, and stage designs fall under copyright protection.
Technical Drawing
Architectural designs, engineering schematics, and industrial drawings are protected as original works.
