Who decides copyright disputes?
While the UK's Intellectual Property Office provides guidance on copyright law, it doesn't resolve individual disputes. When an artist like Stanley Chow believes their copyright has been infringed, they typically seek legal advice and may take the matter to court. A judge would then decide whether an infringement has occurred and what remedies are appropriate.
