Copyright Lawyers

Our copyright solicitors offer smart copyright protection and management services to clients at a cost effective rate.

Protect Your Creative Works

Copyright is an automatic right which protects your original, creative work. Whether you are a business, creative professional, or entrepreneur, ensuring that your work isn’t unfairly copied or exploited is essential. Copyright protection under UK law ensures that your original creations from literature and music to software and broadcasts, are legally protected.

At Freeman Harris, our London-based copyright lawyers specialise in providing expert legal support to protect your creative work. Whether you’re facing an infringement of your copyright or looking to license your work, acting quickly is important in securing your rights and decreasing risks.

Why Copyright Protection Matters

Copyright gives creators the exclusive right to use, reproduce, and distribute their original works. The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, is the law, which establishes protections for a wide range of works, including:

  • Original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works
  • Films, sound recordings, and broadcasts
  • Typographical arrangements

Unlike trademarks, copyright does not require formal registration, as it arises automatically when your work meets the necessary originality and effort criteria. However, this simplicity can sometimes lead to misconceptions, and disputes over ownership or misuse are common.

Without copyright, your intellectual property could be exploited, leaving you without credit or monetary gain. By working with reputable copyright solicitors in London, you can ensure your creations are protected and leveraged to their full potential.
