: : : : I am writing a book, refer to the link below for some details what it will contain. I would like to know about copywright worldwide, especially USA and UK.
: : : : I am also looking for an agent.I feel and have been told this book has huge potential. I have a great title for the book, relating to my story.

: : : Dear Mr. Horan,

: : : A US copyright is recognized in as much as 105 countries. To be enforced there must be local registrations in the countries that you are concerned about.

: : : The copyright notice and registration have an impact on scope and enforcement of copyrighted material.

: : : It is my understanding that it is as difficult to find and agent as it is to get published. Watch out for self publication vanity presses. They cost a lot, but who makes money? You may be able to publish yourself but what good will that do if you can't distribute?

: : : If you can figure out to distribute you may have it made, if the public goes for what you have and the copyright is right.

: : Dear Mr Auslander, Should I be concerned thay you reply to most requests. I am not looking to self publish or self distribute. What I need to know now is how do I copywright it in USA or UK.

: Dear Mr. Horan,
: I am impressed by your web pages and their sophistication.
: My unresearched understanding of the law is that in the UK, under the Berne Convention your publication is protected as a copyright. Under the Universal Copyright convention a copyright notice is required, "c" in a circle, your name and the year of publication. With that, at least at the publication, there is multicountry protection.
: Registration must be had in counties for enforcement. It is my unresearched belief, that there is no need to register, if you have published in the UK, nor in other countries until you want or have to enforce the copyright.
: The copyright notice is essential for multinational protection.

: I strongly suggest that you get an opinion from an IP solicitor that you can trust.

: It looks like you have found serenity.
