Uncopyrightable vs Dermatoglyphics
“Uncopyrightable” (15 letters) is often cited as the longest common English word with no repeated letters, drawn from everyday legal vocabulary.
“Dermatoglyphics” (17 letters) is sometimes cited as an even longer example with no repeated letters, though it comes from a more specialized scientific vocabulary rather than everyday legal language.
Common Mistakes
✓ This idea is uncopyrightable.
“uncopyright” is not a standard word; the correct adjective form ends in “-able.”
IELTS Usage
Writing: Usable in essays about intellectual property, law, or creativity, though it remains a fairly specialized term.
Speaking: Acceptable if the topic naturally involves copyright or legal protection of ideas.
Example: “”Basic factual information is generally considered uncopyrightable under most legal systems.””
MDCAT / Academic Usage
Common in law and intellectual-property studies discussing what types of material can and cannot receive copyright protection.
Word Origin / Etymology
From un- (not) + copyright (from “copy” + “right,” the legal right to control copying of a work) + -able (capable of being).
Memory Tip
Think: UN (not) + COPYRIGHT (legal protection) + ABLE (capable of) — not able to be copyrighted. Its trivia fame comes simply from all 15 letters being different.
