Copyright protection of computer programs

Article Abstract:

Copyright law has gradually expanded to include computers and computer programs, but the courts have neglected to clearly protect the nonliteral elements of a program such as its screen displays and structure. The US Supreme Court missed an opportunity to settle this issue in its 1996 decision on Lotus Dev. Corp. v. Borland Int'l, Inc., and lower courts will continue to struggle with this concept without clear precedent.
