What is copyright? |
|
THERE
is no official register for copyright in the UK. It is an
unregistered right
(unlike patents, registered designs or trade marks).
There is no official action to take,
(no application to make, forms to fill in or fees to pay).
How ever in the UK copyright can be registered for enforcement.
Copyright comes into
effect immediately, as soon as something that can be protected is
created and "fixed" in some way, e.g. on paper, on film, via sound
recording, as an electronic record on the internet, etc.
Copyright ownership can
be found by looking for copyright symbol © followed by the owners name,
to warn others against copying, but it is not legally necessary in the
UK.
The type of works that
copyright protects are:-
- original literary
works, e.g. novels, instruction manuals, computer programs, lyrics
for songs, articles in newspapers, some types of databases, but
not names or titles (see
Trade Marks
page);
- original dramatic
works, including works of dance or mime;
- original musical
works;
- original artistic
works, e.g. paintings, engravings, photographs, sculptures,
collages, works of architecture, technical drawings, diagrams, maps,
logos;
- published editions
of works, i.e. the typographical arrangement of a publication;
- sound recordings,
which may be recordings on any medium, e.g. tape or compact disc,
and may be recordings of other copyright works, e.g. musical or
literary;
- films, including
videos; and
- broadcasts and cable
programmers.
-
WARNING
Copyright
violation is a criminal offence!

What are Trade Marks? |
|
A trade mark is any sign which can
distinguish the goods and services of one trader from those of another.
A sign includes, for example, words, logos, pictures, or a combination
of these. Basically, a trade mark
is a badge of origin, used so that customers can recognise the product
of a particular trader.
To be register your trade mark must be:-
- distinctive for the goods or
services which you are applying to register it for,
and
- not deceptive, or contrary to law or
morality,
and
- not similar or identical to any
earlier marks for the same or similar goods or services.
None registered trade marks in the UK are
the same as copyright and carry the logo ™
Registered Trade Marks carry the symbol ®
in the UK.
