Posted on October 30th, 2011

Did you know that the UK IPO (Intellectual Property Office) has made available a pdf that provides necessary information on copyright to the average user – “Copyright gives the creators of certain kinds of material rights to control ways their material can be used.”

Several pertinent questions have been answered, under different heads -

• Copyright – Basic Facts
• Ownership and length of copyright
• Using copyright material
• Enforcing copyright

More information is available in the form of a booklet titled “The law of copyright and rights in performances” available from  The British Copyright Council.
