This is the protection for the words that you use in your writing, so others can\u2019t sell bootleg copies of your book or copy and paste your text into their book.<\/p>\n<h3>Copyright law<\/h3>\n<p>Copyright law also prevents others from creating unauthorized sequels, translating your work into other languages, or making a movie from your work without your permission.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyright law does not protect the ideas or facts contained in your work<\/strong>, but it does give strong protections for how you express those ideas or facts in your writing.<\/p>\n<p>You also have protection for any other creative works contained in your writing, such as artwork and pictures, as long as they were created specifically for your work. (If not, never fear, they\u2019re protected under their own separate copyright.)<\/p>\n<h2>Trademark Rights<\/h2>\n<p>You may also have trademark rights to your writing, in certain contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A single book title cannot be trademarked (or copyrighted)<\/strong>, but a series title can be trademarked (e.g. \u201cHarry Potter and the Sorcerer\u2019s Stone\u201d could not be trademarked by itself, but \u201cHarry Potter and the\u2026\u201d could \u2013 and almost certainly is.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also possible to trademark your name or pen name, if you\u2019re using one. But this is a bit trickier since you would need to prove that you\u2019ve gained a certain amount of recognition in the marketplace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There may be other things in your writing that you could use as a trademark<\/strong>, but you would have to build a brand around it so that consumers will see it as a source identifier for the item or service you are selling.<\/p>\n<p>There are other rights and laws that impact your writing, but these are what people are referring to when they talk about \u201cintellectual property rights.\u201d They can provide a lot of protection for your work when used and implemented properly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you have questions about the above or would like some help protecting your writing<\/strong>, please feel free to email me at <a href=\"mailto:kaway@kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kaway@kawaylaw.com<\/a>.
