No. Copyright cannot be claimed in facts, information, discoveries, or research findings. At one time, courts applied a “sweat of the brow ” doctrine, holding that copyright protection could exist for facts and information that a person expended a great deal of effort to discover and collect. Courts no longer apply the “sweat of the brow” doctrine. Copyright protection does not exist for facts and information. This is true even if you make a unique discovery, such as a cure for cancer. In some cases, patent, trade secret, or unfair competition law may provide some protection for facts, information, research findings, discoveries, and the like, but copyright law does not.
