ITPEC IP April 2020 Question 77
ITPEC IP April 2020 — Question 77 of 100
The purchaser receives a licensed right to use the program stored on the CD-ROM. Buying the package and physical medium does not transfer ownership of the software's copyright; use remains subject to the license terms.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- copyright in the program remains with its author or rights holder unless explicitly assigned
- purchasing an ordinary disc does not grant a design right
- ownership of the physical CD-ROM is distinct from copyright in either its content or protected creative works
Key rule: Software purchases normally grant a license to use, not ownership of intellectual-property rights.
