Copyright
Copyright: It’s your Right, so protect it.
Copyright creates an unregistered design right which applies to the creation of work under a certain set of criteria. The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA) sets out the provisions of UK copyright law and acts to protect original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, published editions and sound recordings, broadcasts and films, for set periods of time.
Protecting copyright is a crucial element in business, especially for those in the publishing, creative and technology industries.

Our services cover all industry sectors and we deliver expert advice, without the jargon, on:
- UK copyright protection under the CDPA
