Tech startups in Kfar Saba should prioritize copyright protection for their software because:

• Copyright automatically protects source code, user interfaces, and documentation from unauthorized copying
• Israel’s copyright law provides protection for 70 years, covering software throughout its commercial lifecycle
• Registration creates legal evidence of ownership, critical for enforcement and litigation
• Copyright protection extends internationally through the Berne Convention without requiring separate filings
• It creates tangible assets that increase company valuation during investment rounds

While patents protect functional aspects of software, copyright secures the expression of ideas that are vital for tech startups.
