A foundry is a factory which produces metal castings from either ferrous or non-ferrous alloys. Metals are turned into parts by melting the metal into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and then removing the mold material or casting. The most common metal alloys processed are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals, such as steel, magnesium, copper, tin, and zinc, can be processed.

How do I copyright my bronze sculptures from being cloned by dodgy factories?
Q. I am starting to outsource the making of some bronze figurines to a brass castings foundry in the UK. I used to make them myself and sell them on the internet as my intellectual property. How do I protect my designs from other copycat productions in this country and abroad??

A. Unless you have the $6500 it takes to copyright your images and creative process you must mail a copy to yourself and leave it unopend so you will have the postmark to prove the date of conception. This will only help you fight them once they steal it, but you really should pay the cost and do it the other way as soon as possible, especially if your already outsourcing.
