Copyright Registration Services
We know that your creative works are more than just ‘assets’; they represent the heart of your business, embodying innovation, effort, and the intellectual investment that has gone into building your portfolio of work.
While it’s true that registration of a copyright isn’t a formal requirement, as copyright protection in the UK automatically applies the moment a creative or artistic work is created, registering your copyright with an organisation like Panoramix can offer significant advantages that help reinforce your rights.
While in the UK, copyright protection applies automatically to creative works once it has been created and does not require formal registration, registering your work with Panoramix IP provides verification of ownership and a record of the date which the work was created, which can be useful in legal proceedings if infringement occurs. Without the appropriate protections in place, business can find themselves at risk. We can also help you register your copyright in the US at the US Copyright Agency.
Whether you’re looking to protect your registered copyrights in the UK, EU or US Panoramix IP is here to provide strategic guidance for the best cover.
So why register your copyright?
Although copyright registration isn’t mandatory in the UK, choosing to register your copyrights provides essential benefits for you as an individual or for a business or organisation, particularly if disputes or infringement issues arise. A formal registration through Panoramix IP delivers robust evidence of ownership and establishes a clear, verifiable timeline of creation. This can become critically important during legal proceedings, making your claim straightforward and your rights easier to enforce.
In the US, registration of copyright gives you the right to seek an award of statutory damages. This can be very useful where infringers are active on US owned e-commerce platforms or use payment gateways that are incorporated in the US.

FAQs
What is intellectual property?
Intellectual property refers to creations of the mind, such as inventions, brand names, logos, product designs, literary works, and software. IP can be legally protected through rights like patents, trade marks, design rights, and copyright, allowing creators and businesses to control how their ideas are used and who can profit from them.
Protecting your intellectual property means securing the ideas, products, and creative work that make your business unique, which can give you a vital edge over your competitors.
When your IP is properly protected, it makes it much more difficult for others to copy or steal your work. This helps you protect your reputation, keep your customers’ trust, and maintain your position in the market.
Strong IP protection also shows investors that your business owns valuable assets. This can make your company more attractive to those looking to invest or buy your business, as it shows you’ve taken steps to secure what makes your brand unique.
On top of that, intellectual property can become a new source of income for many organisations. You can license or sell your IP to other companies, or even expand into new markets through franchising. This opens the door to long-term growth and additional revenue.
Finally, having clear IP rights can stop others from creeping into your space in the market with similar products or branding, helping you stay ahead and in control of your innovation.
