Overview: Many inventions and works of authorship incorporate significant features of earlier patented inventions or copyrighted works. The movie producers incorporate copyrighted music into movie soundtracks and copyrighted novels into screenplays. There are two intellectual property law features that have a critical influence on cumulative creation: a later creation may infringe an earlier patent or copyright; and a later creation may be eligible for a patent or copyright. Both patent and copyright law allows the owner of the rights to the original creation to sue a later creator for infringement.
