Copyrights refer to the rights authors have over their original intellectual creations, whether they are literary, scientific or artistic creations.

Copyrights can be obtained for literary works (books, novels, short stories, plays, essays, etc.), art works (paintings, portraits, pictures, drawings, sculptures, etc.), computer programs, software, maps and topographic maps, phonograms, motion picture films, among others.
