A copyright gives the owner exclusive rights to display, distribute, reproduce and modify the plans/drawings, and the exclusive right to use the plans or drawings to construct a building.

Any other use of Wausau Homes plans, such as providing them to another builder or modifying the plans without permission is prohibited. Even viewing the plans to draw a new, substantially similar plan is a violation of copyright law because copyright protects the expression of an idea, and not just a particular physical copy of a plan or drawing.
