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?

Usually, but not invariably. The UK is a member of several

international conventions in this field, notably the Berne

Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and

the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC). Copyright material

created by UK nationals or residents is protected in each

member country of the conventions by the national law of that

country. Most countries belong to at least one of the

conventions including all of the Western European countries,

the USA and Russia. A full list of the Conventions and their

member countries may be obtained from the DTI.
