Unfortunately, there is no direct way to protect a Google Sheets chart from being copied.
However, you can restrict access to the spreadsheet itself, making it difficult for other users to copy the chart without permission.
In Google Sheets, you can set specific permissions for sharing the spreadsheet, allowing you to control who can view, edit, and comment on the document. This is the best way to protect your information and graphics in Google Sheets.
