What is Copyright?
Copyright is the exclusive right to use your creative work, and to stop others from using your creative work without your consent. In other words, you control how others access, store and manage your creative works.
What is Infringement?
Infringement occurs when you violate a rule or law. Copyright Infringement happens when you undermine the rights of the copyright holder by using their creative work without consent.
What Are The Key Issues?
Be aware of the idea/expression dichotomy that overlaps with originality. Works built on non-proprietary platforms and code will generally not be copyrightable.
Ensure you can provide samples of any works you say have been infringed, such as the creative design file, design notes, and code.
Know the author of the work and the dates of creation and modification.
Authors should be EEA citizens or from a jurisdiction the UK recognises as affording copyright protection. Copyright is a property right. The people bringing the case must be the owners of the copyright in the work or be entitled by the owners to bring the case.
