"an object that has a meaning" is rather a curious turn of phrase. If you mean a sculpture, an object with a symbolic meaning, it would be protected by copyright as soon as it is fixed in a tangible medium. A patent would be more appropriate for a new type of object with a useful function.
A physical object can either contain a copy of a creative work (e.g., a CD or DVD is a physical object with works recorded on them), or the physical work may, itself, be subject of copyright in its design (such as sculpture, architecture).
Probably not. A patent protects an invention, which may be embodied in a product/object, but it only prevents others from making, using, selling or importing the patented invention. A copyright protects creative expression, which can be embodied in an object of sculpture, for example. Taking a picture of that object creates a new copyrightable object: the photograph. If the object is a work of visual arts, then the photograph could be considered a "derivative" work, based upon the original work. However, simply taking a picture (creating, in theory, a copy) would probably not rise to the level of "infringement" because the owner of the copyright on the original has not been "harmed" yet.
No.
Anyone that patents an object. They do this to keep people from stealing their work and using it for their own gain. Look up Copyright laws and read them...you will understand then.
The Computer Software Copyright Act of 1980 extended copyright protection to computer programs, recognizing them as literary works under U.S. copyright law. This legislation aimed to safeguard the rights of software developers by preventing unauthorized reproduction and distribution of their programs. It also clarified that both source code and object code are eligible for copyright protection. Overall, the act helped foster innovation in the software industry by providing legal protection for creators.
"Copyright in fragment" is a common misspelling of "copyright infringement," which is the violation of copyright.
It depends on the nature of the design; this is a situation where it may be worth your time and money to consult with an experienced IP attorney.
