The UK boasts one of the world’s strongest creative sectors with a wide range of creative industries such as literature, music and film, theatre, ballet, art and sculpture. Anyone who has created an original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work, sound recording, film, broadcast, or typographical arrangement may be entitled to protection under UK copyright law.
Jonathan Booton, intellectual property law solicitor at Warners Solicitors in Kent, provides an overview of how different works are protected by UK copyright law, and why you should consider taking specialist legal advice to ensure your work is adequately protected.
