Update
Since the recording of this video, please note that the European trade mark regime and its fees have changed slightly.
Also, please note that for sound and music recordings, if the work is published the period for which copyright subsists has been extended from 50 years to 70 years from the date of publication.
We recommend reading the Intellectual Property Office's guidance on 'IP and Brexit'.
