For example, did you know?

  • In order to enforce rights in copyright in the USA, they must be registered
  • Copyright rights in the UK last 70 years after the death of the original creator
  • UK unregistered design rights (UK UDR) protect 3-dimensional designs and are automatically afforded to a creator
