Copyright

One of those questions that we aught to ask, but don’t get around to it is – How do I secure copyright for my work?

So – not only do I present to you a short article on the subject of copyright, but also – half way through a very simple way to establish it for yourself.

Don’t get caught out – many have!

If YOU generate original material then that MAY be owned by YOU. I say MAY because you may have produced it to order for someone, and that may mean it doesn’t belong to you!  

Copyright is the claim that original material IS owned by you (because you produced it first or you properly obtained it) and it’s the original source. It can be almost any medium – but the written word and music are the most well known.

That means material on which you claim copyright isn’t plagiarized – what does that mean? Click here for a dictionary definition:

How to establish your own copyright if you really did produce the original work

• Publish the material
• Claim copyright. If it’s the written word – show your claim using the copyright sign.
• Create evidence (that Courts would accept as reasonable) that it is yours: Clearly this is about dates and originality
• Here is a very simple and cheap way of doing exactly that.
• Send a copy of the work to yourself by Special Delivery post and do not open the envelope when you receive it.

Go here first – the UK official source of all things copyright – The UK Patent office.

Outside of the UK many countries subscribe to the Berne Convention.

Thanks to Cornell University for this link, but beware – some countries do not subscribe.

Further comprehensive reading on the issue.

http://www.whatiscopyright.org/

The three links above each contains copyright material. Each is published in the public domain and I invite you to view them. Each makes their individual copyright claim. In showing you the link I do not infringe their document copyright by suggesting that you may like to view them for reference, any more than I would be by suggesting that you may like to read “Wind in the Willows” because it’s a good read. I would, however, infringe their claims if I copied material from the site and then didn’t credit that material to them - but if I did that it might be covered by “fair use”. Read about “fair use” in the links above.

I really do not want to rewrite or plagiarise their work so I have chosen to add it as links – and as a result provide a live example of copyright acknowledgement at work. In totality here you therefore have an exceedingly comprehensive (definitive some would say!) work on copyright and I am grateful to other authors who produced the bulk of the descriptive text in the links that assists the reader to fully understand copyright.

Take a look at this link:

You may notice here written words you have seen before! Look carefully at the bottom of the page and note the acknowledgement that the material is Crown Copyright. If you’ve looked at the other links shown above then you might recognise the words.

To obtain the © sign on a UK keyboard – press Alt Gr (that should be to the immediate right of the space bar) together with C on a UK keypad together

It’s different on different nationality keyboards.

Help the client see the advantage of their achievement, not just the benefits
Results are terrific but are only part of the benefit of coaching.

Good coaches congratulate their clients on their achievements.

Great coaches help the client to see the lasting, long-term advantage of those achievements.

Why bother?
The more the client recognizes the depth of value/benefits of their achievement, the more they will benefit from it.  As will your coaching relationship.
