Request on Information on Registering copyright on a Mobile Application Concept

Requested from IPOPHL by W. Castillo at 01:09 PM on Aug 31, 2021.
Purpose: Research on Mobile App registration, copyright protection for Start Up companies
Date of Coverage: 08/31/2021 - 08/31/2021
Tracking no: #IPOPHL-150600962089

Castillo 01:09 PM, Aug 31, 2021 

Hi! I would like to have information on the process of registering a mobile application even if it is in its infancy/conceptualization. Can an idea or concept already be protected even when the application itself is still being built or on its initial stages? This is a concern for promising Start Up concepts that can be upstaged by bigger, more established and financially entrenched tech companies here and abroad. Information on what scopes on similar technologies can only be protected. Thank you so much.
