Copyright and Trademark Notice

To get the Copyright and Trademark stamps with your name in, firstly ensure your details are entered into Your Account page in the main menu.

Then click on the Copyright Stamp button below, let it download and then open the document in Word or Open Office. The image appears in the document upside down on the top left margin, so when you print it out, it appears the right way up on the bottom right of the page. Print it on a blank page, just to see where your margins are and from this you can work out where to put the postage stamp on your copyright docs. (The stamp in the image above is a UK stamp, but use a stamp from the counrty you are in if not in the UK).

This means that when you put your copyright docs (check which) through your printer, once you have placed the postage stamp in the right place, you then put the document through again, but the opposite way round from the way it came out of the printer, so the copyright stamps print over your postage stamp on the bottom right of the page. Your may need a couple of attempts to get this spot on. Rather than wasting postage stamps, may be an idea to draw a postage stamp sized rectange on the bottom right of the copyright document, to ensure that when it goes through the printer, the copyright circle stamp and the trademark name stamp both print over postage stam
