Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask, however I couldn't find any contacts for my question. I would like to ask, who owns the copyright for the layout and design of London's printed bus blinds (in the older and current style - i.e between the years of 2008 to 2019)?

TfL Ref: 1878-1920

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 19 September 2019 asking for information about the copyright for the layout and design of London's printed bus blinds.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy.  I can confirm that we hold some of the information you require. You asked: Who owns the copyright for the layout and design of London's printed bus blinds, in the older and current style - i.e between the years of 2008 to 2019.

We can confirm that TfL owns the intellectual property rights for the layout and design of Bus Destination Blinds (BDBs) on its contracted bus fleet from at least 2015 to the present but we are unable to confirm if this applies to the whole period you have asked about in your request.
