Copyright Solicitors

Copyright in the UK protects original works, such as literature, music, art, software, and film, from unauthorised reproduction or distribution. Unlike patents or trademarks, copyright arises automatically as soon as you create and record your work—no registration is required. Enforcing your rights, however, may involve proving authorship and demonstrating that another party copied or exploited your work without permission.

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.
