How can I prevent someone else using the title of my book before it is published?

It is unlikely that your title is protected by copyright. Generally, you can’t prevent someone using your book title before it is published, unless you disclosed it to them on a confidential basis. If someone else thinks of the same title independently and publishes before you do, there is generally nothing you can do under copyright law to stop them. Th title may, however, be protected as a trade mark if it has been used or registered as a trade mark.
