Abstract
Australian copyright law distinguishes between two major categories of creations: works and subject matter other than works (“other subject matter”). There are four types of sub-classifications within both works and other subject matter. Each subclassification has different rights associated with it, but generally speaking works include a greater variety of intellectual creations and are afforded greater protection.
