\"BooksToday on Writer’s Fun Zone we welcome Author Matthew Brennan\u00a0as he gives his tips on intellectual property rights for novelists. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

****<\/p>\n

It was a dark and stormy night. A calm crept over the house.<\/strong> As the rest of the family slept, you sat at the computer, working on your dream, slaving for your passion. You sat tapping at the keys until at last, your fictional masterpiece was completed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next came the frustration\u2014the artist\u2019s worst nightmare. After all the sweat you poured into your work, somebody carelessly leaked your novel to the rest of the world, and didn\u2019t\u2019 even stop to ask you if it might be all right. You wake up, and some third party site found your work and conveniently thought they\u2019d publish it.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to loose control of your intellectual property in the digital age<\/a>. All it takes is careless bloggers, or aggressive Facebook fans. If your work is posted on blogs or websites where you did not give permission, you can always send an email asking the owner of the site to take it down, reminding them of your rights as the author.<\/p>\n

If that doesn\u2019t work, you don\u2019t have to give up.<\/strong> There are courses of action in place to protect your work, so that this kind of carelessness does not debilitate you as an artist.<\/p>\n

If all else fails, it may be time to consider taking legal action.<\/strong> An attorney will be able to help you understand what type of case you\u2019ll have, and how to go about taking the proper steps to protect your intellectual property.<\/p>\n

Before it comes to the worse case scenario, there are steps that can be taken to protect their work.<\/p>\n

Novelists Can Copyright Their Work<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to claiming intellectual property rights, novelists and other authors need to file a copyright. This is a little easier than patents or trademarks, which require more extensive legal filings.<\/p>\n

Copyright technically occurs when something is written. However, that copyright does need to be substantiated, so there is a little bit of work required by the author. There are three easy ways to make sure that your copyright holds up.<\/p>\n

You can use the assistance of a copyright registry that will retain the documentation of the work, should you need a legal witness. You could mail a full copy of the document to yourself with the words Copyright + Your Name on the envelope. Once you\u2019ve done this, don\u2019t open the document. You\u2019ve essentially made the U.S. Postal Service witness. You could also use the U.S. Copyright office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Indie and Self Published Books<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to understand that books that are independently published or self published still fall under the author\u2019s copyright. Whenever you utilize something like the Amazon Kindle or Barnes and Noble Nook terms of service, to understand what your rights are as the author.<\/p>\n

Because of their very nature, eBooks can be particularly susceptible to piracy and intellectual theft.<\/p>\n

IP Rights For Traditionally Published Authors<\/b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Novels that are traditionally published are governed by contract with the publisher. The author remains in control of the copyright, but grants specific rights to the publisher.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve traditionally published, and noticed that your work has been pirated, it\u2019s important to notify your publisher. They may have a specific procedure in place to be able to help.<\/p>\n
