I believe that in this country at least, stuff you produce is automatically copyrighted to you unless you waive that right. Valid until x years after you die, where x varies depending on what the copyrighted thing is.

Yep - you don't need to assert your copyright BUT it is worth collecting some kind of proof to ensure you could demonstrate when you created the design in case of any difficulty. The age old way is to seal a copy of it design in an envelope and post it to yourself. Keep the envelope unsealed and the post mark will demonstrate when it was sent (assuming it's legible!). Otherwise you could deposit a copy with your solicitor and get them to sign and date the envelope to confirm when it was created?
