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.

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.

 Chapter 2: Literature Review: This chapter cover all the objectives which are related to
present topic. It outlines the concept of copyright and intellectual property right while the
composition of movies. Further, the importance of copyright and intellectual property
right at the time of movie composition is also determined. Different factors that affects
copyright and intellectual property right during movie composition is analysed. This
chapter will cover the aim and objective of the present study. Further, in this chapter all
the information which are published by different authors in books and articles is
presented. Chapter 3: Research Methodology: This chapter will present different methods which
will be used by investigator to carry out research in one direction. Further validation of
the selected techniques is provided and ethical consideration is undertaken in this chapter.
It also consists of limitation and reliability of research. Chapter 4: Data Analysis and Findings: All the gathered data is presented in this chapter
and analysed on the basis of result.
 Chapter 5: Conclusion and Recommendations: In last chapter that is conclusion and
recommendation finding is presented of the collected data. Then recommendation will be
given on the basis of result for improvement.

This is essential chapter at the time of gathering information from reliable source in order
to make correct decision so that right conclusion can be arrived and proper recommendation can
be provided. There are some steps in these regards, which are as follows:
Design of research: In present research explanatory research design will be used so that it
become easy to gather information which is meaningful and important for reaching the aim
of study.

Research approach: further in present report inductive approach will be used so that focus is
kept on moving from specific to general. The current study is based on analysing the factors
that affect copyright and intellectual property right during movie composition. Therefore,
this study will lead the identification of those factors which are helpful in completing the
research.
Research philosophy: interpretive research philosophy will be used.

Method for data collection: the current research is based on analysing the factors that affect
copyright and intellectual property right during movie composition. Therefore, in present
research. secondary method will be used for collecting the information. Further, for
collecting the secondary information books and articles will be used.
Analysis of data: to analyse the collected data qualitative technique will be used. Further
thematic approach will be used to analyse the factors that affect copyright and intellectual
property right during movie composition.
Factors considered for protecting copyrights
Copyright is fair use of the material and to consider the use it is required to get it resolved
