Copyright your book
Whether you’ve written a sweeping novel or a practical owner’s manual, your book represents a significant investment of time and effort. Naturally, you deserve to reap any rewards that come from your creative work. In the UK, copyright laws exist to ensure that your original writings belong to you alone.
As long as your book is both original and not substantially derived from someone else’s work, it qualifies for copyright protection in the United Kingdom. That said, protection only matters when you can prove infringement—meaning you need solid evidence that your book predates someone else’s copy. A reliable way to establish ownership and date of creation is by registering and depositing your manuscript, thereby providing indisputable proof of your authorship.
How To Protect Your Book?
When you register and make a copyright deposit with Copyright.uk, you secure immediate protection. This deposit creates a legally recognized record of your book’s creation date, ensuring priority of copyright. Moreover, because the deposit cannot be altered, it serves as incontestable proof of your ownership and authorship.
Filing for copyright protection covers your book for life. Under the stewardship of legally mandated officers, your work is retained in a way that makes it impervious to dispute. Additionally, once deposited, your copyright in the UK is recognized in the 171 signatory countries of the Berne Convention—providing global protection for your book.
