Welcome to The Publishers Licensing Society (PLS). PLS's sole objective is to serve the UK publishing industry by working to protect publishers' rights, and to lead on industry-wide initiatives involving rights management and collective licensing.
PLS is a not-for-profit organisation and has mandates from over 2200 UK publishers ranging from multinationals to single title publishers, charitable societies to academic associations.

PLS is dedicated to protecting and strengthening the copyright framework by motivating good practice in rights management. One of the most important ways PLS does this is by facilitating licence solutions that protect rights and provide revenue for publishers through collective licensing.

PLS strives to ensure a high level of service that works on behalf of publishers and readers to uphold copyright legislation.
