FAQs
What does copyright protect in the UK?
Copyright in the UK protects original works such as books, music, films, software, photographs, illustrations, databases, and even website content. It covers both artistic and non-artistic creations, as long as they are original and fixed in a tangible form. While copyright arises automatically as soon as the creative work has been created, registering a copyright with Panoramix IP enables greater protection should future infringement occur.

What isn't protected by copyright?
Copyright doesn’t protect ideas, facts, or concepts. It only protects the specific way an idea is expressed, such as the wording of a book or the composition of a song. Methods, systems or functionality used in the innovation may fall under patent or trade secret law instead.
How long does copyright last in the UK?
For literary, artistic, dramatic, and musical works, copyright typically lasts for 70 years after the death of the creator. Other types, like sound recordings or broadcast content, have different durations, depending on when and how they were published.
To understand exactly how long your rights last, speak to a copyright advisor at Panoramix IP.
What are the most common types of copyright infringement?
The most common breaches include copying music, text, or images without permission, especially online. This includes downloading media, using copyrighted images in marketing, or republishing written content.
If you’re aware of an individual or organisation using your work without permission, or you’re unsure if you’re infringing, Panoramix IP can help protect or defend your rights.
Can make money from copyright?
Absolutely! Copyright gives creators control over how their work is used, which includes licensing, royalties, and commercial sales. You can also assign or sell rights to others.

What is ‘fair dealing’ and can I use copyrighted work without permission?
In the UK, “fair dealing” allows limited use of copyrighted content without permission, such as for criticism, news reporting, education, or research. However, it’s not a free pass, and use must be justified and reasonable.
Not sure if your use qualifies, or whether someone else is using your copyrighted content without your permission? Let Panoramix IP help you navigate fair dealing.
What happens when something is ‘copyright free’?
A work is ‘copyright free’ when it enters the public domain, usually 70 years after the creator’s death, or if the author deliberately waives their rights. You’re free to use public domain works without permission.
Want to confirm whether a piece is truly free to use? Ask Panoramix IP’s copyright team.
Who can benefit from copyright protection?
Anyone who creates original content, whether that is artists, authors, designers, developers, photographers, or even companies, can benefit. Copyright protects your creative and commercial interests from unauthorised use.

What are the risks of ignoring copyright law?
Using or sharing copyrighted material without permission can lead to legal action, fines, or reputational damage. Even well-intended uses like educational blogs or internal training can breach copyright if not carefully assessed.
Need to audit your content or marketing material? Let Panoramix IP review it for you.
What’s the difference between ‘copyright protected’ and ‘copyright free’?
‘Copyright protected’ means the work is still under legal protection and can’t be used without permission. ‘Copyright free’ refers to works that are either in the public domain or where rights have been waived.
If you need clarity before using content, our solicitors at Panoramix IP are here to advise.
