Choreography is a protectable form of intellectual property. It is a copyright infringement and a basis for a legal claim if someone without legal authorization publicly performs the work or reproduces the work. The copyright legal framework worldwide applies in all sport choreographies as these are performed for athletic dance, rhythmic gymnastics, artistic swimming, breaking, cheerleading, figure skating and gymnastics. Copyright law provides for creators’ property and moral rights, which are essential both for the choreography creators position as well as for the development of the sports mentioned above. The main protected element of an intellectual creation is the original form in which this is perceived by the human senses. Protecting intellectual property provides athletes, choreographers, and trainers the opportunity to license, merchandise and commercialise their work.
