Your rights with respect to intellectual property protection depend on the jurisdiction in which you are located. Generally, each country has its own laws regarding the ownership and protection of intellectual property. In most countries, including the United States, copyright law grants exclusive rights to authors or creators over their works. This includes literary works, software code, music recordings, photographs and other creative materials. Authors and creators have the right to control distribution of copies of their work as well as reproductions such as derivative works (as long as those do not infringe on existing copyrights). These rights may be asserted by filing for a copyright registration with a local government agency or through use of international treaties that recognize certain protections on a global level. Additionally, some countries provide additional legal remedies such as trade secret laws or patent protections which offer specific proprietary information further protection from unauthorized use or disclosure.
It is important to note that while all authors/creators have these general rights all jurisdictions also contain limitations and exceptions allowing for some limited usage without permission from the author/creator including fair use provisions surrounding educational uses or small portions used for criticism/commentary purposes among others. It is always recommended to seek out professional counsel when attempting to assert your intellectual property interests both domestically and internationally so you can better understand your available options under applicable law(s) in order to maximize potential legal remedies and minimize any potential risk associated with infringement claims against you should they arise at a later time
