Where do you copyright a label name?

I dunno if this will work, but it does for graphic designers when ever you do work. © all of the work and sign and date it. then send it registered post to yourself, but dont open the package.

Bobs your uncle if anyone else rips you off you can take them to court, have the mail ready open it in front of everyone. and pow job done.

just make sure you put a © and date it.

While this will help, it would never stand up in a court of law unless it's held by your lawyer or in a bank vault - the basic problem with this is that you've sent it to yourself and could at any point have changed the contents, ask any good lawyer. It's a bit of an Urban Myth....

A small part of my course when at university was how to handle yourself while freelancing and this is what we were advised to do to stop people stealing ideas and work from you.

It reckon it doesn't hurt to do for a mere £4.00 registered post.

You may as well buy a couple of pints because it's bad advice and isn't proof at all, unless it's held by an "official body"...

definetly right there. we had a few lessons on copyright and we got told the mail thing doesn't apply in the uk
