Registered copyright logos and notices
Why include a registered notice?
By displaying the notice, you demonstrate that;
- You are aware of your rights as a copyright owner
- You take copyright seriously, and
- You have very strong evidence with which to pursue a case if your work is infringed.
Wording your notice
The notice would normally appear next to or below the your standard notice and state.
‘This work is registered with the UK Copyright Service.’
You may also include your registration number if you wish. The complete notice wording including registration notice, would read:
Copyright © 2015 Joe Smith. All rights reserved.
This work is registered with the UK Copyright Service: Registration No:123456789
For web sites, the following XHTML code that includes a link to our main site can be used. Simply replace ‘-Year-’, ‘-Name-’, and ‘-Registration No-’ with your own details.
<p><em>Copyright © -Year- -Name-. All rights reserved.<br /><a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://copyrightservice.co.uk/" title="Protected by UK Copyright Service registration" >Registered with the UK Copyright Service. Registration No: -Registration No-</a></em></p>
Registered notice labels
We can also supply sheets of self adhesive registered notice labels that can be attached to your work as an additional deterrent.
These are sheets of small self adhesive labels (46mm x 11mm) that state that your work is registered and the registration number, these can be affixed to your work as an extra deterrent against copyright infringement.
Example:
Each sheet contains 84 labels.
