Copyright infringement letter
About this service
If you own the UK copyright in something (e.g. a photo) and someone has infringed it, this letter can help stop any further infringement. It will also demand information to help you work out:
- the full extent of the infringement, and
- how much (if any) compensation you might want to seek.
You can use it if someone has copied all or a substantial part of your work without permission, or if someone is doing something with a copy made by someone else (e.g. selling, hiring, offering, distributing or exhibiting it).
For the purposes of this letter, the work must fall into either of these categories:
- Artistic works: e.g. photographs, paintings, drawings, collages, sculptures, structures, graphic designs, logos
- Literary works: i.e. anything (with some exceptions) that is written, spoken or sung. E.g. novels, short stories, poems, song lyrics, but also things like articles, design specs, reports, plans, computer programs, tables/compilations or (in some cases) databases.
You can't use this letter in relation to:
- Dramatic works (e.g. a play script or screenplay)
- Musical works (e.g. a musical score)
- Sound recordings, films or broadcasts
- Typographical arrangements of published editions.
You also can't use it if you have a licence (i.e. permission) to exploit the copyright in a work, but aren't the owner.
