So I hear you're a lawyer, I could really do with your help!

If I was designing book jackets would it be covered under the copyrights, designs and patents act 1988 or under design rights? and also who owns the rights, would they get transfered to the client or would I lease them?

Muchas gracias amigo

if you're employed by a company to do this, all rights belong to the company - so not yours.

if it is just you designing these things, then i imagine that the intellectual property (ie designs/copy/etc) would still be owned by the publishing company - but you may get a credit.

Yeh this is the things how do I pass the rights on to the client i.e. book publisher, because I'm designing on their behalf do I lease it or is it beneficial ownership or implied license?

Thanks for your help by the way x

I tend not to give out legal advice. Unless you're good looking. And female.

I tend not to ask legal advice unless I hear the lawyer in question is attractive and male.

if Twinklet is under 18, would this be classed as 'grooming'?
