Order of the Bath

I have just been listening to an episode of Open Book (BBC Radio 4) in the car on the way home and they were talking about the dedications you find in most books before the preface and how revealing they can be. A very public expression of often very private thoughts. I was reminded that a book hat I have just finished had something similar, yet different. The novel “Fatal Voyage” by Kathy Reichs has quite a normal dedication but the copyright is assigned to ©2001 Temperance Brennan L.P. Unless you know her books you may not realise, but Tempe Brennan is the principal character in a lot of these novels so what is the author saying here—and, if it came to a dispute, could the copyright be upheld?
