What does copyright cover in the UK?
- Literary works: Books, articles, and other written content (including blogs and social media posts).
- Artistic works: Paintings, drawings, photographs, and digital art.
- Musical works: Compositions, lyrics, and sound recordings.
- Software and databases: Code, apps, and compilations of data.
- Films and broadcasts: TV shows, movies, and online video content.
How can a solicitor help with copyright, and what does it cost?
An intellectual property solicitor can:
- Advise on ownership and licensing: Clarifying who holds the rights, especially when multiple collaborators are involved.
- Draft agreements: Preparing copyright licences and assignments to commercialise works without losing control.
- Handle infringement cases: Gathering evidence, sending cease-and-desist letters, or initiating legal action if someone misuses your work.
- Defend against claims: Challenging allegations of infringement or negotiating settlements to avoid court.
Costs vary with the complexity of each case and the solicitor’s experience. Many firms charge £150–£400 per hour; however, fixed-fee packages might be available for simpler tasks, such as drafting a licence agreement. An initial consultation—often discounted or free—can help you identify the best strategy, estimate expenses, and protect your creative work more effectively.
