- bobthepanda 3y agoIt seems like UK and EU agree that you cannot copyright a recipe other than maybe the exact way it was written: https://www.twobirds.com/en/insights/2020/uk/intellectual-property-rights-in-recipes-and-food https://www.twobirds.com/en/insights/2020/uk/intellectual-pr... https://www.copyright.eu/docs/protection-of-a-recipe/ https://www.copyright.eu/docs/protection-of-a-recipe/ Though you can patent novel methods of food production, which is also true in the US. The root statement is still the same, legislatures can amend copyright laws as they wish if they really care. I don’t know that the UK parliament is exactly functioning well right now, but that’s my impression from across the pond.

- surfacedetail 3y agoYou can only copyright the actual expression of a recipe as a literary work, but the functional aspect, the cake let's say, isn't copyrightable.
