Bite-sized IP

We like to keep you informed about the legal structure and remedies for intellectual property, so we were pleased to discover IP watchdog recently published a very helpful article comparing some interesting differences between IP enforcement in the USA and UK.

Intellectual property Article 1 min 8 Mar, 2017

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

More information is available here: http://www.ipwatchdog.com/2017/03/07/intellectual-property-rights-uk-law/id=79057/

Our IP insurance policies can cover any intellectual property right held by a business.
