"has been copyrighted" is correct here?

"This means, for example, that while there are numerous smartphones all with similar functionality, this does not represent an infringement of copyright as the idea has been expressed in different ways and it is the expression that has been copyrighted"


Q. "has been copyrighted" is correct here? Shouldn't it be just "has been copyrighted" because "copyright" means "obtain a copyright on" here?
