Agricultural innovators in Kurigram and Gaibandha should seek copyright protection because:

• Written materials about farming techniques can receive copyright protection, securing exclusive rights to educational content
• Software developed for agricultural management or monitoring can be protected through copyright
• Photographs and visual guides for agricultural processes qualify for copyright protection
• Research papers and documentation on new farming methods benefit from copyright safeguards

While patents protect the functional aspects of agricultural innovations, copyright complements this by protecting the expression and documentation of these innovations. This dual approach is particularly valuable in these districts where agricultural research and education initiatives are expanding.
