Q: I have come up with a recipe for what I call my nature bars and have started to make them for people.
Do I have to copyright my recipe and how do I get started doing this as a business?
A: Nina Kaufman, co-founder of Paltrowitz & Kaufman LLP, small-business focused law firm, and president of Wise Counsel Press LLC, which produces legal information products for entrepreneurs answers:
“The Copyright Office clearly states that mere listings of ingredients as in recipes, formulas, compounds or prescriptions are not subject to copyright protection.
However, where a recipe or formula is accompanied by substantial literary expression in the form of an explanation or directions, or when there is a combination of recipes, as in a cookbook, there may be a basis for copyright protection.
For more information on what is copyrightable and how to do it, go to the Copyright Office’s website.”
