Do I need to register copyright?
No. Copyright protection in this country is automatic and there
is no registration system - so there are no forms to fill in and
no fees to pay.
How long does uk copyright last?
Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work
(including a photograph) lasts until 70 years after the death of
the author. The duration of copyright in a film is for the period
of 70 years after the death of the last to survive of the
principal director, the author of the screenplay and dialogue,
and the composer of any music specifically created for the film.
Sound recordings, broadcasts and cable programmes are
protected for 50 years, and published editions are protected for
25 years.
However, the above terms of protection essentially apply only
to works of UK or other European Union origin. In other cases,
the term of protection granted in the United Kingdom is that in
the country of origin of the work, which may be shorter.
CAN COPYRIGHT PROTECT INDUSTRIAL ARTICLES?
No. Copyright may protect the drawing from which an article is
made but copyright cannot be used to prevent the
manufacture of articles. For information on protection of
industrial articles see the leaflet ‘Designs - Basic Facts’.
Do I always need permission to copy
OR PUBLICLY EXPLOIT COPYRIGHT MATERIAL?
No, there are certain exceptions to the rights given to the
creator of the material. For example, limited use of works is
allowed for research and private study, criticism or review,
reporting current events, judicial proceedings and teaching in
schools.
HOW DO I GET PERMISSION TO EXPLOIT
COPYRIGHT MATERIAL?
Normally by approaching the copyright owner, but there are
several organisations which act collectively for groups of
copyright owners in respect of particular rights; they may offer
‘blanket’ licences to users. Further information is available
from the sources given at the end of this leaflet.
DO I HAVE TO MARK MY WORK IN ANY WAY
TO CLAIM COPYRIGHT?
Although some countries require that a work be marked with
the international © mark followed by the name of the
copyright owner and year of publication, this is not essential in
the UK. However, marking in this way may assist in
infringement proceedings within the UK and will be needed in
certain foreign countries.
HOW CAN I PROVE ORIGINALITY IN MY WORK?
Ultimately this is a matter for the courts to decide. However, it
may help a copyright owner to deposit a copy of his work with
a bank or solicitor or send a copy of his work to himself by
registered post, leaving the envelope unopened on its return;
this will establish that the work existed at this time.
WHO OWNS COPYRIGHT?
The general rule is that the author is the first owner of
copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work. The
main exception is where such work is made in the course of
employment, in which case the employer owns the copyright.
The copyright in films, sound recordings, broadcasts and
published editions belongs to the film or record producer,
broadcaster or publisher.
WHAT CAN I DO IF MY WORK IS USED
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION?
Although you are not obliged to do so, it will usually be
sensible to try to resolve the matter with the party who has
infringed your copyright. Otherwise you will need to seek
redress in the Courts where injunctions and damages are
available. Legal advice may be needed.
ARE NAMES PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT?
No. There is no copyright in a name or a title.
ARE IDEAS PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT?
No. Although the work itself may be protected, the idea behind
it is not.
WILL MY MATERIAL BE PROTECTED OVERSEAS?
