CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Overview
Intellectual property right means the right given to the people who are creating something
which is different and is not done by anybody in the field so its their first idea to be kept secured
from copying. Under the intellectual copy right many more section comes such as copyright,
patent, trademark, etc. which are followed differently in different works of the people or in the
different services followed. On the other hand, copyright means the legal rights under which all
the work is being set. Total work and system is secured in the copyright section in that nobody
has the right to copy the same thing or neither anything from it. If anybody suppose to do that its
illegal work and filed under the legal act (Arewa, 2017). The present study is conducted to
analyse the factors that affect copyright and intellectual property right during movie
composition. Copyright laws assist in protecting the rights of the artist and other originator of a
creative work for controlling the way work can be copied and disseminated. Further it is ability
to take profit from someone creativity, even if protection is not absolute.
Under the copyright section the material is save and everything is under the law. If in
that particular work something is against the law than the permission is not granted to take it
further into action. So before to compose the movie the director has to register it under the
copyright act and complete its legal formalities so that everything goes in the fluent manner
(Ponce, Polasko and Mora, 2016). After submitting the movie script under the copyright act the
movie is saved, nobody can copy it music, scenes, script and actions conducted in that movie for
the span of some years till the life of copyright file. Nobody can copy without the permission of
the owner to copy any scene, story, music, song, etc.

Research problem
The present study is conducted for analysing the different factors which are impacting the
copyright and intellectual property right during movie composition in the U.S., which is the most
important film production Country. Further copyright is a primary legal doctrine which traces its
roots to Elizabethan England. It is very important to protect the files or own creation under the
rights because without the copyright the movie is open and anybody can steal the idea, music and
story (Halilem, Olmos-Peñuela and Mohiuddin, 2017). It is necessary to protect it because it will
protect it from the market or the other competitors. One should get benefit of creating thing of its
own and using his/her ideas. Everybody has the right to protect the asset they have created by his
own with using the talented mind. If it is not being registered under the copyright, then the story
of the movie will be open and can be stolen and used, then its value and creditability will be
gone, and the fruit will be eaten by some other, and its value will be lost.
Chapter structure
To accomplish the aim of the present study the researcher need to follow a systematic
pattern. There are some series of chapter which need to undertake for completing the present
research in systematic pattern. Chapter which will be consider in this report are as follows: Chapter 1: Introduction: The first chapter is an introduction chapter which provide the
clear information related to the present topic. Further this will consist of background of
study under which detail information will be provided related to topic. Along with this,
there are following points which will be covered in this chapter that are aims and
objectives, research question, purpose of research and rationale of study. At last different
tools and techniques which are used in this dissertation will be discussed.
