Stationers' Hall

Read a random definition: usucapio

A quick definition of Stationers' Hall:

Stationers' Hall is a building in London that was established in 1553 for the Stationers' Company. This was a place where people who claimed ownership of a copyright had to register their work before they could take legal action against anyone who copied it without permission. This was a way to protect their work from being stolen. The words "Entered at Stationers' Hall" on a book's title page meant that the owner of the copyright could sue anyone who copied their work. This requirement ended in 1911 with the Copyright Act.

A more thorough explanation:

Stationers' Hall is the hall of the Stationers' Company, which was established in London in 1553. It was a place where people who claimed a copyright had to register before they could file a lawsuit against someone who infringed on their copyright. This was a way to warn pirates that the owner of the copyright could and might sue them.

For example, if a book had the words "Entered at Stationers' Hall" on the title page, it meant that the owner of the copyright had registered it there and could take legal action against anyone who copied their work without permission.

This requirement was no longer necessary after the Copyright Act of 1911 was passed.
