Munawar,

I did a search for copyright office britain on Google and found the
following info.

The Patent Office for the U.K. mentions that all copyright is automatic and
that copyright registration is not necessary.  It says there are copyright
registers where someone can register their copyright, but questions whether
or not any fee is worth the effort.

The following website may be able to help, though.

http://tyler.hrc.utexas.edu/uk.cfm 

This site has a WATCH file which may contain the information, and the web
page contains info on how to go about finding a U.K. copyright holder.

There were some other sites in the results which I didn't check, so you may
want to run the search yourself and check them out.

HTH

Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Problem with copyright

Hello List,
I have just finished scanning a book and have discovered that there is no
copyright information. There is only a note: "All rights reserved in the
name of the author." The publication information is there, however. This
book was published in England -- how would I go about getting the copyright
info for this title? I do not think the US copyright office would serve a
purpose for a book written in England.
Thanks for any help.
