Do catalogs fall under copyright laws?
<p>I have a lot of catalogs featuring different products, and basically what I want to know is if there can be a problem to upload all those in a github repository so that anyone can download them, instead of going to the manufacturer sites one by one</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>
<p>Facts are not subject to copyright but a catalog is more than a list of facts are meets the criteria for a literary work under copyright law. The choice of how to present the facts (page composition, font choice, order of items, which photos to use etc.) is what makes a literary work - after all, a novel is just a collection of non-copyright words assembled in a particular order.</p>
