Claiming and Enforcing
Copyright
Copyright
is automatic in the UK and most of the rest of the world. It is
essentially a private right so decisions about use of a copyright work
and how to enforce copyright are generally for a copyright owner to
take for him or herself.
Do I have to mark my work to claim copyright?
Although a few 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 most countries,
including
the UK. However, marking in this way may assist in copyright
infringement proceedings.
How can I prove originality in my work?
Ultimately this is a matter for the courts to decide. However, it may
help copyright owners to deposit a copy of their work with a bank or
solicitor or, Send a copy of
their
work to themselves by special delivery (which gives a clear date stamp
on the envelope), leaving the envelope unopened on its return;
this could establish that the work existed at this time. (Further
details of special delivery should be available at Post Offices).
