What does Revived copyright mean?

Prior to 1996, the term of copyright in original works used to be 50 years in the UK while in other European countries it was 50, 70 or 80 years. This discrepancy was addressed at an EU level and, as a result of this, in the UK, the copyright term increased to 70 years. As a result of the increase in the term of protection, in certain circumstances, copyright can be revived where it has expired in a work, or extended. ‘Revived copyright’ means any copyright which subsists, by virtue of the provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) as amended by the Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995, SI 1995/3297, after having expired under the provisions of CDPA 1988 as they stood immediately before 1 January 1996, including the provisions of Schedule 1 continuing the effect of earlier enactments, or any earlier enactment relating to copyright.

Moral rights

Moral rights The nature of moral rights The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) confers a number of personal rights on authors that are additional to their economic rights. These are known as moral rights. While copyright deals with economic interests, moral rights are about the reputation and integrity of the author that is publicly associated with the work. Reference is sometimes made to ‘copyright and associated rights’—moral rights are a subcategory of these ‘associated rights’. While distinct from copyright, they do not arise where copyright does not arise. Article 6bis(1) of the Bern Convention provides: '(1) Independently of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work, which would be prejudicial to his honor or reputation.' CDPA 1988 implements this right into UK law giving: • authors of...

IP weekly highlights—24 June 2021

This week's edition of IP weekly highlights includes news of the Court of Justice’s ruling in the joined cases YouTube and Cyando in which it was held that, in principle, operators of online platforms do not themselves make a communication to the public of copyright-protected content illegally posted online by platform users unless they contribute beyond merely making those platforms available, the case of Mircom v Telenet in which the court found that copyright trolls who are contractual holders of IP rights may benefit from the same rights as authors and pursue users of peer-to-peer networks and record their IP addresses when they are suspected of being involved in infringing activities, and the Council of the EU’s adoption of the conclusions on IP policy in relation to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) is seeking views on the impact that the removal of section 52 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and its related amendments has had since it was repealed in 2016. The Copyright (Amendment) Regulations 2016, SI 2016/1210, are now subject to a post-implementation review to assess the amendments, which allowed works created before 1957 to attract copyright protection and removed the compulsory licensing provision for works with revived copyright from the Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995, SI 1995/3297. The IPO has published a questionnaire to help respondents frame their answers. The consultation will close on 31 August 2021.
