		Chapter III Acts Permitted in relation to Copyright Works



		Introductory



		Introductory provisions.



		28.—



		(1) The provisions of this Chapter specify acts which may be done in relation to copyright works notwithstanding the subsistence of copyright; they relate only to the question of infringement of copyright and do not affect any other right or obligation restricting the doing of any of the specified acts.



		(2) Where it is provided by this Chapter that an act does not infringe copyright, or may be done without infringing copyright, and no particular description of copyright work is mentioned, the act in question does not infringe the copyright in a work of any description.



		(3) No inference shall be drawn from the description of any act which may by virtue of this Chapter be done without infringing copyright as to the scope of the acts restricted by the copyright in any description of work.



		(4) The provisions of this Chapter are to be construed independently of each other, so that the fact that an act does not fall within one provision does not mean that it is not covered by another provision.



		General



		Research and private study.



		29.—



		(1) Fair dealing with a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work for the purposes of research or private study does not infringe any copyright in the work or, in the case of a published edition, in the typographical arrangement.



		(2) Fair dealing with the typographical arrangement of a published edition for the purposes mentioned in subsection (1) does not infringe any copyright in the arrangement.



		(3) Copying by a person other than the researcher or student himself is not fair dealing if—



		(a) in the case of a librarian, or a person acting on behalf of a librarian, he does anything which regulations undersection 40 would not permit to be done under section 38 or 39 (articles or parts of published works: restriction on multiple copies of same material), or



		(b) in any other case, the person doing the copying knows or has reason to believe that it will result in copies of substantially the same material being provided to more than one person at substantially the same time and for substantially the same purpose.



		Criticism, review and news reporting.



		30.—



		(1) Fair dealing with a work for the purpose of criticism or review, of that or another work or of a performance of a work, does not infringe any copyright in the work provided that it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement.

		(3) No acknowledgement is required in connection with the reporting of current events by means of a sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.



		Incidental inclusion of copyright material.



		31.—



		(1) Copyright in a work is not infringed by its incidental inclusion in an artistic work, sound recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.



		(2) Nor is the copyright infringed by the issue to the public of copies, or the playing, showing, broadcasting or inclusion in a cable programme service, of anything whose making was, by virtue of subsection (1), not an infringement of the copyright.



		(3) A musical work, words spoken or sung with music, or so much of a sound recording, broadcast or cable programme as includes a musical work or such words, shall not be regarded as incidentally included in another work if it is deliberately included.



		Education



		Things done for purposes of instruction or examination.



		32.—

		(1) Where by an agreement made in relation to future copyright, and signed by or on behalf of the prospective owner of the copyright, the prospective owner purports to assign the future copyright (wholly or partially) to another person, then if, on the copyright coming into existence, the assignee or another person claiming under him would be entitled as against all other persons to require the copyright to be vested in him, the copyright shall vest in the assignee or his successor in title by virtue of this subsection.



		(2) In this Part—



		“future copyright” means copyright which will or may come into existence in respect of a future work or class of works or on the occurrence of a future event; and

		(b) an original material thing containing a sound recording or film which was not published before the death of the testator,



		the bequest shall, unless a contrary intention is indicated in the testator’s will or a codicil to it, be construed as including the copyright in the work in so far as the testator was the owner of the copyright immediately before his death.



		Moral rights



		Moral rights not assignable.



		94. The rights conferred by Chapter IV (moral rights) are not assignable.



		Transmission of moral rights on death.

		(a) the right passes to such person as he may by testamentary disposition specifically direct,



		(b) if there is no such direction but the copyright in the work in question forms part of his estate, the right passes to the person to whom the copyright passes, and



		(c) if or to the extent that the right does not pass under paragraph (a) or (b) it is exercisable by his personal representatives.



		(2) Where copyright forming part of a person’s estate passes in part to one person and in part to another, as for example where a bequest is limited so as to apply—



		(a) to one or more, but not all, of the things the copyright owner has the exclusive right to do or authorise, or



		(b) to part, but not the whole, of the period for which the copyright is to subsist,



		any right which passes with the copyright by virtue of subsection (1) is correspondingly divided.



		(3) Where by virtue of subsection (1)(a) or (b) a right becomes exercisable by more than one person—



		(a) it may, in the case of the right conferred by section 77 (right to identification of author or director), be asserted by any of them;



		(b) it is, in the case of the right conferred by section 80 (right to object to derogatory treatment of work) or section 85 (right to privacy of certain photographs and films), a right exercisable by each of them and is satisfied in relation to any of them if he consents to the treatment or act in question; and



		(c) any waiver of the right in accordance with section 87 by one of them does not affect the rights of the others.



		(4) A consent or waiver previously given or made binds any person to whom a right passes by virtue of subsection (1).

		(a) no injunction shall be granted against him,



		(b) no order for delivery up shall be made under section 99, and

		(2) An application shall not be made after the end of the period specified in section 113 (period after which remedy of delivery up not available); and no order shall be made unless the court also makes, or it appears to the court that there are grounds for making, an order under section 114 (order as to disposal of infringing copy or other article).

		(a) licensing schemes operated by licensing bodies in relation to the copyright in literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works or films (or film sound-tracks when accompanying a film) which cover works of more than one author, so far as they relate to licences for—



		(i) copying the work,



		(ii) performing, playing or showing the work in public, or



		(iii) broadcasting the work or including it in a cable programme service;

		118.—



		(1) The terms of a licensing scheme proposed to be operated by a licensing body may be referred to the Copyright Tribunal by an organisation claiming to be representative of persons claiming that they require licences in cases of a description to which the scheme would apply, either generally or in relation to any description of case.



		(2) The Tribunal shall first decide whether to entertain the reference, and may decline to do so on the ground that the reference is premature.



		(3) If the Tribunal decides to entertain the reference it shall consider the matter referred and make such order, either confirming or varying the proposed scheme, either generally or so far as it relates to cases of the description to which the reference relates, as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(4) The order may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Tribunal may determine.



		Reference of licensing scheme to tribunal.



		119.—



		(1) If while a licensing scheme is in operation a dispute arises between the operator of the scheme and—



		(a) a person claiming that he requires a licence in a case of a description to which the scheme applies, or



		(b) an organisation claiming to be representative of such persons,



		that person or organisation may refer the scheme to the Copyright Tribunal in so far as it relates to cases of that description.



		(2) A scheme which has been referred to the Tribunal under this section shall remain in operation until proceedings on the reference are concluded.



		(3) The Tribunal shall consider the matter in dispute and make such order, either confirming or varying the scheme so far as it relates to cases of the description to which the reference relates, as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(4) The order may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Tribunal may determine.



		Further reference of scheme to tribunal.



		120.—



		(1) Where the Copyright Tribunal has on a previous reference of a licensing scheme under section 118 or 119, or under this section, made an order with respect to the scheme, then, while the order remains in force—



		(a) the operator of the scheme,



		(b) a person claiming that he requires a licence in a case of the description to which the order applies, or



		(c) an organisation claiming to be representative of such persons,



		may refer the scheme again to the Tribunal so far as it relates to cases of that description.



		(2) A licensing scheme shall not, except with the special leave of the Tribunal, be referred again to the Tribunal in respect of the same description of cases—



		(a) within twelve months from the date of the order on the previous reference, or



		(b) if the order was made so as to be in force for 15 months or less, until the last three months before the expiry of the order.



		(3) A scheme which has been referred to the Tribunal under this section shall remain in operation until proceedings on the reference are concluded.

		Application for grant of licence in connection with licensing scheme.



		121.—



		(1) A person who claims, in a case covered by a licensing scheme, that the operator of the scheme has refused to grant him or procure the grant to him of a licence in accordance with the scheme, or has failed to do so within a reasonable time after being asked, may apply to the Copyright Tribunal.



		(2) A person who claims, in a case excluded from a licensing scheme, that the operator of the scheme either—



		(a) has refused to grant him a licence or procure the grant to him of a licence, or has failed to do so within a reasonable time of being asked, and that in the circumstances it is unreasonable that a licence should not be granted, or



		(b) proposes terms for a licence which are unreasonable,



		may apply to the Copyright Tribunal.



		(3) A case shall be regarded as excluded from a licensing scheme for the purposes of subsection (2) if—



		(a) the scheme provides for the grant of licences subject to terms excepting matters from the licence and the case falls within such an exception, or



		(b) the case is so similar to those in which licences are granted under the scheme that it is unreasonable that it should not be dealt with in the same way.



		(4) If the Tribunal is satisfied that the claim is well-founded, it shall make an order declaring that, in respect of the matters specified in the order, the applicant is entitled to a licence on such terms as the Tribunal may determine to be applicable in accordance with the scheme or, as the case may be, to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(5) The order may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Tribunal may determine.



		Application for review of order as to entitlement to licence.

		(2) An application shall not be made, except with the special leave of the Tribunal—



		(a) within twelve months from the date of the order, or of the decision on a previous application under this section, or



		(b) if the order was made so as to be in force for 15 months or less, or as a result of the decision on a previous application under this section is due to expire within 15 months of that decision, until the last three months before the expiry date.



		(3) The Tribunal shall on an application for review confirm or vary its order as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable having regard to the terms applicable in accordance with the licensing scheme or, as the case may be, the circumstances of the case.



		Effect of order of tribunal as to licensing scheme.



		123.—



		(1) A licensing scheme which has been confirmed or varied by the Copyright Tribunal—



		(a) under section 118 (reference of terms of proposed scheme), or



		(b) under section 119 or 120 (reference of existing scheme to Tribunal),



		shall be in force or, as the case may be, remain in operation, so far as it relates to the description of case in respect of which the order was made, so long as the order remains in force.



		(2) While the order is in force a person who in a case of a class to which the order applies—



		(a) pays to the operator of the scheme any charges payable under the scheme in respect of a licence covering the case in question or, if the amount cannot be ascertained, gives an undertaking to the operator to pay them when ascertained, and



		(b) complies with the other terms applicable to such a licence under the scheme,



		shall be in the same position as regards infringement of copyright as if he had at all material times been the holder of a licence granted by the owner of the copyright in question in accordance with the scheme.



		(3) The Tribunal may direct that the order, so far as it varies the amount of charges payable, has effect from a date before that on which it is made, but not earlier than the date on which the reference was made or, if later, on which the scheme came into operation.



		If such a direction is made—



		(a) any necessary repayments, or further payments, shall be made in respect of charges already paid, and



		(b) the reference in subsection (2)(a) to the charges payable under the scheme shall be construed as a reference to the charges so payable by virtue of the order.



		No such direction may be made where subsection (4) below applies.



		(4) An order of the Tribunal under section 119 or 120 made with respect to a scheme which is certified for any purpose under section 143 has effect, so far as it varies the scheme by reducing the charges payable for licences, from the date on which the reference was made to the Tribunal.



		(5) Where the Tribunal has made an order under section 121 (order as to entitlement to licence under licensing scheme) and the order remains in force, the person in whose favour the order is made shall if he—



		(a) pays to the operator of the scheme any charges payable in accordance with the order or, if the amount cannot be ascertained, gives an undertaking to pay the charges when ascertained, and



		(b) complies with the other terms specified in the order,



		be in the same position as regards infringement of copyright as if he had at all material times been the holder of a licence granted by the owner of the copyright in question on the terms specified in the order.



		References and applications with respect to licensing by licensing bodies



		Licences to which ss. 125 to 128 apply.



		124. Sections 125 to 128 (references and applications with respect to licensing by licensing bodies) apply to the following descriptions of licence granted by a licensing body otherwise than in pursuance of a licensing scheme—



		(a) licences relating to the copyright in literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works or films (or film sound-tracks when accompanying a film) which cover works of more than one author, so far as they authorise—



		(i) copying the work,



		(ii) performing, playing or showing the work in public, or



		(iii) broadcasting the work or including it in a cable programme service;



		(b) any licence relating to the copyright in a sound recording (other than a film sound-track when accompanying a film), broadcast or cable programme, or the typographical arrangement of a published edition; and



		(c) all licences in relation to the copyright in sound recordings, films or computer programs so far as they relate to the rental of copies to the public;



		and in those sections a “licence” means a licence of any of those descriptions.



		Reference to tribunal of proposed licence.



		125.—



		(1) The terms on which a licensing body proposes to grant a licence may be referred to the Copyright Tribunal by the prospective licensee.



		(2) The Tribunal shall first decide whether to entertain the reference, and may decline to do so on the ground that the reference is premature.



		(3) If the Tribunal decides to entertain the reference it shall consider the terms of the proposed licence and make such order, either confirming or varying the terms, as it may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(4) The order may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Tribunal may determine.



		Reference to tribunal of expiring licence.



		126.—



		(1) A licensee under a licence which is due to expire, by effluxion of time or as a result of notice given by the licensing body, may apply to the Copyright Tribunal on the ground that it is unreasonable in the circumstances that the licence should cease to be in force.



		(2) Such an application may not be made until the last three months before the licence is due to expire.



		(3) A licence in respect of which a reference has been made to the Tribunal shall remain in operation until proceedings on the reference are concluded.



		(4) If the Tribunal finds the application well-founded, it shall make an order declaring that the licensee shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of the licence on such terms as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(5) An order of the Tribunal under this section may be made so as to be in force indefinitely or for such period as the Tribunal may determine.



		Application for review of order as to licence.



		127.—



		(1) Where the Copyright Tribunal has made an order under section 125 or 126, the licensing body or the person entitled to the benefit of the order may apply to the Tribunal to review its order.



		(2) An application shall not be made, except with the special leave of the Tribunal—



		(a) within twelve months from the date of the order or of the decision on a previous application under this section, or



		(b) if the order was made so as to be in force for 15 months or less, or as a result of the decision on a previous application under this section is due to expire within 15 months of that decision, until the last three months before the expiry date.



		(3) The Tribunal shall on an application for review confirm or vary its order as the Tribunal may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		Effect of order of tribunal as to licence.



		128.—



		(1) Where the Copyright Tribunal has made an order under section 125 or 126 and the order remains in force, the person entitled to the benefit of the order shall if he—



		(a) pays to the licensing body any charges payable in accordance with the order or, if the amount cannot be ascertained, gives an undertaking to pay the charges when ascertained, and



		(b) complies with the other terms specified in the order,



		be in the same position as regards infringement of copyright as if he had at all material times been the holder of a licence granted by the owner of the copyright in question on the terms specified in the order.



		(2) The benefit of the order may be assigned—



		(a) in the case of an order under section 125, if assignment is not prohibited under the terms of the Tribunal’s order; and



		(b) in the case of an order under section 126, if assignment was not prohibited under the terms of the original licence.



		(3) The Tribunal may direct that an order under section 125 or 126, or an order under section 127 varying such an order, so far as it varies the amount of charges payable, has effect from a date before that on which it is made, but not earlier than the date on which the reference or application was made or, if later, on which the licence was granted or, as the case may be, was due to expire.



		If such a direction is made—



		(a) any necessary repayments, or further payments, shall be made in respect of charges already paid, and



		(b) the reference in subsection (1)(a) to the charges payable in accordance with the order shall be construed, where the order is varied by a later order, as a reference to the charges so payable by virtue of the later order.



		Factors to be taken into account in certain classes of case



		General considerations: unreasonable discrimination.



		129. In determining what is reasonable on a reference or application under this Chapter relating to a licensing scheme or licence, the Copyright Tribunal shall have regard to—



		(a) the availability of other schemes, or the granting of other licences, to other persons in similar circumstances, and



		(b) the terms of those schemes or licences,



		and shall exercise its powers so as to secure that there is no unreasonable discrimination between licensees, or prospective licensees, under the scheme or licence to which the reference or application relates and licensees under other schemes operated by, or other licences granted by, the same person.



		Licences for reprographic copying.



		130. Where a reference or application is made to the Copyright Tribunal under this Chapter relating to the licensing of reprographic copying of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or the typographical arrangement of published editions, the Tribunal shall have regard to—



		(a) the extent to which published editions of the works in question are otherwise available,



		(b) the proportion of the work to be copied, and



		(c) the nature of the use to which the copies are likely to be put.



		Licences for educational establishments in respect of works included in broadcasts or cable programmes.



		131.—



		(1) This section applies to references or applications under this Chapter relating to licences for the recording by or on behalf of educational establishments of broadcasts or cable programmes which include copyright works, or the making of copies of such recordings, for educational purposes.



		(2) The Copyright Tribunal shall, in considering what charges (if any) should be paid for a licence, have regard to the extent to which the owners of copyright in the works included in the broadcast or cable programme have already received, or are entitled to receive, payment in respect of their inclusion.



		Licences to reflect conditions imposed by promoters of events.



		132.—



		(1) This section applies to references or applications under this Chapter in respect of licences relating to sound recordings, films, broadcasts or cable programmes which include, or are to include, any entertainment or other event.



		(2) The Copyright Tribunal shall have regard to any conditions imposed by the promoters of the entertainment or other event; and, in particular, the Tribunal shall not hold a refusal or failure to grant a licence to be unreasonable if it could not have been granted consistently with those conditions.



		(3) Nothing in this section shall require the Tribunal to have regard to any such conditions in so far as they—



		(a) purport to regulate the charges to be imposed in respect of the grant of licences, or



		(b) relate to payments to be made to the promoters of any event in consideration of the grant of facilities for making the recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.



		Licences to reflect payments in respect of underlying rights.



		133.—



		(1) In considering what charges should be paid for a licence—



		(a) on a reference or application under this Chapter relating to licences for the rental to the public of copies of sound recordings, films or computer programs, or



		(b) on an application under section 142 (settlement of royalty or other sum payable for deemed licence),



		the Copyright Tribunal shall take into account any reasonable payments which the owner of the copyright in the sound recording, film or computer program is liable to make in consequence of the granting of the licence, or of the acts authorised by the licence, to owners of copyright in works included in that work.



		(2) On any reference or application under this Chapter relating to licensing in respect of the copyright in sound recordings, films, broadcasts or cable programmes, the Copyright Tribunal shall take into account, in considering what charges should be paid for a licence, any reasonable payments which the copyright owner is liable to make in consequence of the granting of the licence, or of the acts authorised by the licence, in respect of any performance included in the recording, film, broadcast or cable programme.



		Licences in respect of works included in retransmissions.



		134.—



		(1) This section applies to references or applications under this Chapter relating to licences to include in a broadcast or cable programme service—



		(a) literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or,



		(b) sound recordings or films,



		where one broadcast or cable programme (“the first transmission”) is, by reception and immediate re-transmission, to be further broadcast or included in a cable programme service (“the further transmission”).



		(2) So far as the further transmission is to the same area as the first transmission, the Copyright Tribunal shall, in considering what charges (if any) should be paid for licences for either transmission, have regard to the extent to which the copyright owner has already received, or is entitled to receive, payment for the other transmission which adequately remunerates him in respect of transmissions to that area.



		(3) So far as the further transmission is to an area outside that to which the first transmission was made, the Tribunal shall (except where subsection (4) applies) leave the further transmission out of account in considering what charges (if any) should be paid for licences for the first transmission.



		1984 c. 46.



		(4) If the Tribunal is satisfied that requirements imposed under section 13(1) of the Cable and Broadcasting Act 1984 (duty of Cable Authority to secure inclusion of certain broadcasts in cable programme services) will result in the further transmission being to areas part of which fall outside the area to which the first transmission is made, the Tribunal shall exercise its powers so as to secure that the charges payable for licences for the first transmission adequately reflect that fact.



		Mention of specific matters not to exclude other relevant considerations.



		135. The mention in sections 129 to 134 of specific matters to which the Copyright Tribunal is to have regard in certain classes of case does not affect the Tribunal’s general obligation in any case to have regard to all relevant considerations.



		Implied indemnity in schemes or licences or reprographic copying



		Implied indemnity in certain schemes and licences for reprographic copying.



		136.—



		(1) This section applies to—



		(a) schemes for licensing reprographic copying of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or the typographical arrangement of published editions, and



		(b) licences granted by licensing bodies for such copying,



		where the scheme or licence does not specify the works to which it applies with such particularity as to enable licensees to determine whether a work falls within the scheme or licence by inspection of the scheme or licence and the work.



		(2) There is implied—



		(a) in every scheme to which this section applies an undertaking by the operator of the scheme to indemnify a person granted a licence under the scheme, and



		(b) in every licence to which this section applies an undertaking by the licensing body to indemnify the licensee,



		against any liability incurred by him by reason of his having infringed copyright by making or authorising the making of reprographic copies of a work in circumstances within the apparent scope of his licence.



		(3) The circumstances of a case are within the apparent scope of a licence if—



		(a) it is not apparent from inspection of the licence and the work that it does not fall within the description of works to which the licence applies; and



		(b) the licence does not expressly provide that it does not extend to copyright of the description infringed.



		(4) In this section “liability” includes liability to pay costs; and this section applies in relation to costs reasonably incurred by a licensee in connection with actual or contemplated proceedings against him for infringement of copyright as it applies to sums which he is liable to pay in respect of such infringement.



		(5) A scheme or licence to which this section applies may contain reasonable provision—



		(a) with respect to the manner in which, and time within which, claims under the undertaking implied by this section are to be made;



		(b) enabling the operator of the scheme or, as the case may be, the licensing body to take over the conduct of any proceedings affecting the amount of his liability to indemnify.



		Reprographic copying by educational establishments



		Power to extend coverage of scheme or licence.



		137.—



		(1) This section applies to—



		(a) a licensing scheme to which sections 118 to 123 apply (see section 117) and which is operated by a licensing body, or



		(b) a licence to which sections 125 to 128 apply (see section 124),



		so far as it provides for the grant of licences, or is a licence, authorising the making by or on behalf of educational establishments for the purposes of instruction of reprographic copies of published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or of the typographical arrangement of published editions.



		(2) If it appears to the Secretary of State with respect to a scheme or licence to which this section applies that—



		(a) works of a description similar to those covered by the scheme or licence are unreasonably excluded from it, and



		(b) making them subject to the scheme or licence would not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owners,



		he may by order provide that the scheme or licence shall extend to those works.



		(3) Where he proposes to make such an order, the Secretary of State shall give notice of the proposal to—



		(a) the copyright owners,



		(b) the licensing body in question, and



		(c) such persons or organisations representative of educational establishments, and such other persons or organisations, as the Secretary of State thinks fit.



		(4) The notice shall inform those persons of their right to make written or oral representations to the Secretary of State about the proposal within six months from the date of the notice; and if any of them wishes to make oral representations, the Secretary of State shall appoint a person to hear the representations and report to him.



		(5) In considering whether to make an order the Secretary of State shall take into account any representations made to him in accordance with subsection (4), and such other matters as appear to him to be relevant.



		Variation or discharge of order extending scheme or licence.



		138.—



		(1) The owner of the copyright in a work in respect of which an order is in force under section 137 may apply to the Secretary of State for the variation or discharge of the order, stating his reasons for making the application.



		(2) The Secretary of State shall not entertain an application made within two years of the making of the original order, or of the making of an order on a previous application under this section, unless it appears to him that the circumstances are exceptional.



		(3) On considering the reasons for the application the Secretary of State may confirm the order forthwith; if he does not do so, he shall give notice of the application to—



		(a) the licensing body in question, and



		(b) such persons or organisations representative of educational establishments, and such other persons or organisations, as he thinks fit.



		(4) The notice shall inform those persons of their right to make written or oral representations to the Secretary of State about the application within the period of two months from the date of the notice; and if any of them wishes to make oral representations, the Secretary of State shall appoint a person to hear the representations and report to him.



		(5) In considering the application the Secretary of State shall take into account the reasons for the application, any representations made to him in accordance with subsection (4), and such other matters as appear to him to be relevant.



		(6) The Secretary of State may make such order as he thinks fit confirming or discharging the order (or, as the case may be, the order as previously varied), or varying (or further varying) it so as to exclude works from it.



		Appeals against orders.



		139.—



		(1) The owner of the copyright in a work which is the subject of an order section 137 (order extending coverage of scheme or licence) may appeal to the Copyright Tribunal which may confirm or discharge the order, or vary it so as to exclude works from it, as it thinks fit having regard to the considerations mentioned in subsection (2) of that section.



		(2) Where the Secretary of State has made an order under section 138 (order confirming, varying or discharging order extending coverage of scheme or licence)—



		(a) the person who applied for the order, or



		(b) any person or organisation representative of educational establishments who was given notice of the application for the order and made representations in accordance with subsection (4) of that section,



		may appeal to the Tribunal which may confirm or discharge the order or make any other order which the Secretary of State might have made.



		(3) An appeal under this section shall be brought within six weeks of the making of the order or such further period as the Tribunal may allow.



		(4) An order under section 137 or 138 shall not come into effect until the end of the period of six weeks from the making of the order or, if an appeal is brought before the end of that period, until the appeal proceedings are disposed of or withdrawn.



		(5) If an appeal is brought after the end of that period, any decision of the Tribunal on the appeal does not affect the validity of anything done in reliance on the order appealed against before that decision takes effect.



		Inquiry whether new scheme or general licence required.



		140.—



		(1) The Secretary of State may appoint a person to inquire into the question whether new provision is required (whether by way of a licensing scheme or general licence) to authorise the making by or on behalf of educational establishments for the purposes of instruction of reprographic copies of—



		(a) published literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works, or



		(b) the typographical arrangement of published editions,



		of a description which appears to the Secretary of State not to be covered by an existing licensing scheme or general licence and not to fall within the power conferred by section 137 (power to extend existing schemes and licences to similar works).



		(2) The procedure to be followed in relation to an inquiry shall be such as may be prescribed by regulations made by the Secretary of State.



		(3) The regulations shall, in particular, provide for notice to be given to—



		(a) persons or organisations appearing to the Secretary of State to represent the owners of copyright in works of that description, and



		(b) persons or organisations appearing to the Secretary of State to represent educational establishments,



		and for the making of written or oral representations by such persons; but without prejudice to the giving of notice to, and the making of representations by, other persons and organisations.



		(4) The person appointed to hold the inquiry shall not recommend the making of new provision unless he is satisfied—



		(a) that it would be of advantage to educational establishments to be authorised to make reprographic copies of the works in question, and



		(b) that making those works subject to a licensing scheme or general licence would not conflict with the normal exploitation of the works or unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the copyright owners.



		(5) If he does recommend the making of new provision he shall specify any terms, other than terms as to charges payable, on which authorisation under the new provision should be available.



		(6) Regulations under this section shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		(7) In this section (and section 141) a “general licence” means a licence granted by a licensing body which covers all works of the description to which it applies.



		Statutory licence where recommendation not implemented.



		141.—



		(1) The Secretary of State may, within one year of the making of a recommendation under section 140 by order provide that if, or to the extent that, provision has not been made in accordance with the recommendation, the making by or on behalf of an educational establishment, for the purposes of instruction, of reprographic copies of the works to which the recommendation relates shall be treated as licensed by the owners of the copyright in the works.



		(2) For that purpose provision shall be regarded as having been made in accordance with the recommendation if—



		(a) a certified licensing scheme has been established under which a licence is available to the establishment in question, or



		(b) a general licence has been—



		(i) granted to or for the benefit of that establishment, or



		(ii) referred by or on behalf of that establishment to the Copyright Tribunal under section 125 (reference of terms of proposed licence), or



		(iii) offered to or for the benefit of that establishment and refused without such a reference,



		and the terms of the scheme or licence accord with the recommendation.



		(3) The order shall also provide that any existing licence authorising the making of such copies (not being a licence granted under a certified licensing scheme or a general licence) shall cease to have effect to the extent that it is more restricted or more onerous than the licence provided for by the order.



		(4) The order shall provide for the licence to be free of royalty but, as respects other matters, subject to any terms specified in the recommendation and to such other terms as the Secretary of State may think fit.



		(5) The order may provide that where a copy which would otherwise be an infringing copy is made in accordance with the licence provided by the order but is subsequently dealt with, it shall be treated as an infringing copy for the purposes of that dealing, and if that dealing infringes copyright for all subsequent purposes.



		In this subsection “dealt with” means sold or let for hire, offered or exposed for sale or hire, or exhibited in public.



		(6) The order shall not come into force until at least six months after it is made.



		(7) An order may be varied from time to time, but not so as to include works other than those to which the recommendation relates or remove any terms specified in the recommendation, and may be revoked.



		(8) An order under this section shall be made by statutory instrument which shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		(9) In this section a “certified licensing scheme” means a licensing scheme certified for the purposes of this section undersection 143.



		Royalty or other sum payable for rental of certain works



		Royalty or other sum payable for rental of sound recording, film or computer program.



		142.—



		(1) An application to settle the royalty or other sum payable in pursuance of section 66 (rental of sound recordings, films and computer programs) may be made to the Copyright Tribunal by the copyright owner or the person claiming to be treated as licensed by him.



		(2) The Tribunal shall consider the matter and make such order as it may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(3) Either party may subsequently apply to the Tribunal to vary the order, and the Tribunal shall consider the matter and make such order confirming or varying the original order as it may determine to be reasonable in the circumstances.



		(4) An application under subsection (3) shall not, except with the special leave of the Tribunal, be made within twelve months from the date of the original order or of the order on a previous application under that subsection.



		(5) An order under subsection (3) has effect from the date on which it is made or such later date as may be specified by the Tribunal.



		Certification of licensing schemes

		(2) The international organisations to which this section applies are those as to which Her Majesty has by Order in Council declared that it is expedient that this section should apply.



		(3) Copyright of which an international organisation is first owner by virtue of this section continues to subsist until the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was made or such longer period as may be specified by Her Majesty by Order in Council for the purpose of complying with the international obligations of the United Kingdom.



		(4) An international organisation to which this section applies shall be deemed to have, and to have had at all material times, the legal capacities of a body corporate for the purpose of holding, dealing with and enforcing copyright and in connection with all legal proceedings relating to copyright.



		(5) A statutory instrument containing an Order in Council under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		Folklore, &c.: anonymous unpublished works.



		169.—



		(1) Where in the case of an unpublished literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work of unknown authorship there is evidence that the author (or, in the case of a joint work, any of the authors) was a qualifying individual by connection with a country outside the United Kingdom, it shall be presumed until the contrary is proved that he was such a qualifying individual and that copyright accordingly subsists in the work, subject to the provisions of this Part.



		(2) If under the law of that country a body is appointed to protect and enforce copyright in such works, Her Majesty may by Order in Council designate that body for the purposes of this section.



		(3) A body so designated shall be recognised in the United Kingdom as having authority to do in place of the copyright owner anything, other than assign copyright, which it is empowered to do under the law of that country; and it may, in particular, bring proceedings in its own name.



		(4) A statutory instrument containing an Order in Council under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		(5) In subsection (1) a “qualifying individual” means an individual who at the material time (within the meaning of section 154) was a person whose works qualified under that section for copyright protection.



		(6) This section does not apply if there has been an assignment of copyright in the work by the author of which notice has been given to the designated body; and nothing in this section affects the validity of an assignment of copyright made, or licence granted, by the author or a person lawfully claiming under him.

		180.—



		(1) This Part confers rights—



		(a) on a performer, by requiring his consent to the exploitation of his performances (see sections 181 to 184), and



		(b) on a person having recording rights in relation to a performance, in relation to recordings made without his consent or that of the performer (see sections 185 to 188),



		and creates offences in relation to dealing with or using illicit recordings and certain other related acts (see sections 198 and 201).



		(2) In this Part—



		“performance” means—(a) a dramatic performance (which includes dance and mime),



		(b) a musical performance,



		(c) a reading or recitation of a literary work, or



		(d) a performance of a variety act or any similar presentation,



		which is, or so far as it is, a live performance given by one or more individuals; and



		“recording”, in relation to a performance, means a film or sound recording—



		(a) made directly from the live performance,



		(b) made from a broadcast of, or cable programme including, the performance, or



		(c) made, directly or indirectly, from another recording of the performance.



		(3) The rights conferred by this Part apply in relation to performances taking place before the commencement of this Part; but no act done before commencement, or in pursuance of arrangements made before commencement, shall be regarded as infringing those rights.



		(4) The rights conferred by this Part are independent of—



		(a) any copyright in, or moral rights relating to, any work performed or any film or sound recording of, or broadcast or cable programme including, the performance, and



		(b) any other right or obligation arising otherwise than under this Part.



		Performers’ rights



		Qualifying performances.



		181. A performance is a qualifying performance for the purposes of the provisions of this Part relating to performers’ rights if it is given by a qualifying individual (as defined in section 206) or takes place in a qualifying country (as so defined).



		Consent required for recording or live transmission of performance.



		182.—



		(1) A performer’s rights are infringed by a person who, without his consent—



		(a) makes, otherwise than for his private and domestic use, a recording of the whole or any substantial part of a qualifying performance, or



		(b) broadcasts live, or includes live in a cable programme service, the whole or any substantial part of a qualifying performance.



		(2) In an action for infringement of a performer’s rights brought by virtue of this section damages shall not be awarded against a defendant who shows that at the time of the infringement he believed on reasonable grounds that consent had been given.



		Infringement of performer’s rights by use of recording made without consent.



		183. A performer’s rights are infringed by a person who, without his consent—



		(a) shows or plays in public the whole or any substantial part of a qualifying performance, or



		(b) broadcasts or includes in a cable programme service the whole or any substantial part of a qualifying performance,



		by means of a recording which was, and which that person knows or has reason to believe was, made without the performer’s consent.



		Infringement of performer’s rights by importing, possessing or dealing with illicit recording.

		(a) imports into the United Kingdom otherwise than for his private and domestic use, or



		(b) in the course of a business possesses, sells or lets for hire, offers or exposes for sale or hire, or distributes,



		a recording of a qualifying performance which is, and which that person knows or has reason to believe is, an illicit recording.



		(2) Where in an action for infringement of a performer’s rights brought by virtue of this section a defendant shows that the illicit recording was innocently acquired by him or a predecessor in title of his, the only remedy available against him in respect of the infringement is damages not exceeding a reasonable payment in respect of the act complained of.



		(3) In subsection (2) “innocently acquired” means that the person acquiring the recording did not know and had no reason to believe that it was an illicit recording.



		Rights of person having recording rights



		Exclusive recording contracts and persons having recording rights.



		185.—



		(1) In this Part an “exclusive recording contract” means a contract between a performer and another person under which that person is entitled to the exclusion of all other persons (including the performer) to make recordings of one or more of his performances with a view to their commercial exploitation.



		(2) References in this Part to a “person having recording rights”, in relation to a performance, are (subject tosubsection (3)) to a person—



		(a) who is party to and has the benefit of an exclusive recording contract to which the performance is subject, or



		(b) to whom the benefit of such a contract has been assigned,



		and who is a qualifying person.



		(3) If a performance is subject to an exclusive recording contract but the person mentioned in subsection (2) is not a qualifying person, references in this Part to a “person having recording rights” in relation to the performance are to any person—



		(a) who is licensed by such a person to make recordings of the performance with a view to their commercial exploitation, or



		(b) to whom the benefit of such a licence has been assigned,



		and who is a qualifying person.



		(4) In this section “with a view to commercial exploitation” means with a view to the recordings being sold or let for hire, or shown or played in public.



		Consent required for recording of performance subject to exclusive contract.



		186.—



		(1) A person infringes the rights of a person having recording rights in relation to a performance who, without his consent or that of the performer, makes a recording of the whole or any substantial part of the performance, otherwise than for his private and domestic use.



		(2) In an action for infringement of those rights brought by virtue of this section damages shall not be awarded against a defendant who shows that at the time of the infringement he believed on reasonable grounds that consent had been given.



		Infringement of recording rights by use of recording made without consent.



		187.—



		(1) A person infringes the rights of a person having recording rights in relation to a performance who, without his consent or, in the case of a qualifying performance, that of the performer—



		(a) shows or plays in public the whole or any substantial part of the performance, or



		(b) broadcasts or includes in a cable programme service the whole or any substantial part of the performance,



		by means of a recording which was, and which that person knows or has reason to believe was, made without the appropriate consent.



		(2) The reference in subsection (1) to “the appropriate consent” is to the consent of—



		(a) the performer, or



		(b) the person who at the time the consent was given had recording rights in relation to the performance (or, if there was more than one such person, of all of them).



		Infringement of recording rights by importing, possessing or dealing with illicit recording.



		188.—

		(a) imports into the United Kingdom otherwise than for his private and domestic use, or



		(b) in the course of a business possesses, sells or lets for hire, offers or exposes for sale or hire, or distributes,



		a recording of the performance which is, and which that person knows or has reason to believe is, an illicit recording.



		(2) Where in an action for infringement of those rights brought by virtue of this section a defendant shows that the illicit recording was innocently acquired by him or a predecessor in title of his, the only remedy available against him in respect of the infringement is damages not exceeding a reasonable payment in respect of the act complained of.



		(3) In subsection (2) “innocently acquired” means that the person acquiring the recording did not know and had no reason to believe that it was an illicit recording.



		Exceptions to rights conferred



		Acts permitted notwithstanding rights conferred by this Part.



		189. The provisions of Schedule 2 specify acts which may be done notwithstanding the rights conferred by this Part, being acts which correspond broadly to certain of those specified in Chapter III of Part I (acts permitted notwithstanding copyright).



		Power of tribunal to give consent on behalf of performer in certain cases.



		190.—



		(1) The Copyright Tribunal may, on the application of a person wishing to make a recording from a previous recording of a performance, give consent in a case where—



		(a) the identity or whereabouts of a performer cannot be ascertained by reasonable inquiry, or



		(b) a performer unreasonably withholds his consent.



		(2) Consent given by the Tribunal has effect as consent of the performer for the purposes of—



		(a) the provisions of this Part relating to performers’ rights, and



		(b) section 198(3)(a) (criminal liability: sufficient consent in relation to qualifying performances),



		and may be given subject to any conditions specified in the Tribunal’s order.



		(3) The Tribunal shall not give consent under subsection (1)(a) except after the service or publication of such notices as may be required by rules made under section 150 (general procedural rules) or as the Tribunal may in any particular case direct.



		(4) The Tribunal shall not give consent under subsection (1)(b) unless satisfied that the performer’s reasons for withholding consent do not include the protection of any legitimate interest of his; but it shall be for the performer to show what his reasons are for withholding consent, and in default of evidence as to his reasons the Tribunal may draw such inferences as it thinks fit.



		(5) In any case the Tribunal shall take into account the following factors—



		(a) whether the original recording was made with the performer’s consent and is lawfully in the possession or control of the person proposing to make the further recording;



		(b) whether the making of the further recording is consistent with the obligations of the parties to the arrangements under which, or is otherwise consistent with the purposes for which, the original recording was made.



		(6) Where the Tribunal gives consent under this section it shall, in default of agreement between the applicant and the performer, make such order as it thinks fit as to the payment to be made to the performer in consideration of consent being given.

		(b) if or to the extent that there is no such direction, the rights are exercisable by his personal representatives;

		Part III Design Right



		Chapter I Design right in original designs



		Introductory



		Design right.



		213.—



		(1) Design right is a property right which subsists in accordance with this Part in an original design.



		(2) In this Part “design” means the design of any aspect of the shape or configuration (whether internal or external) of the whole or part of an article.



		(3) Design right does not subsist in—



		(a) a method or principle of construction,



		(b) features of shape or configuration of an article which—



		(i) enable the article to be connected to, or placed in, around or against, another article so that either article may perform its function, or



		(ii) are dependent upon the appearance of another article of which the article is intended by the designer to form an integral part, or



		(c) surface decoration.



		(4) A design is not “original” for the purposes of this Part if it is commonplace in the design field in question at the time of its creation.



		(5) Design right subsists in a design only if the design qualifies for design right protection by reference to—



		(a) the designer or the person by whom the design was commissioned or the designer employed (see sections 218 and 219), or



		(b) the person by whom and country in which articles made to the design were first marketed (see section 220),



		or in accordance with any Order under section 221 (power to make further provision with respect to qualification).



		(6) Design right does not subsist unless and until the design has been recorded in a design document or an article has been made to the design.



		(7) Design right does not subsist in a design which was so recorded, or to which an article was made, before the commencement of this Part.



		The designer.



		214.—



		(1) In this Part the “designer”, in relation to a design, means the person who creates it.



		(2) In the case of a computer-generated design the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the design are undertaken shall be taken to be the designer.



		Ownership of design right.



		215.—



		(1) The designer is the first owner of any design right in a design which is not created in pursuance of a commission or in the course of employment.



		(2) Where a design is created in pursuance of a commission, the person commissioning the design is the first owner of any design right in it.



		(3) Where, in a case not falling within subsection (2) a design is created by an employee in the course of his employment, his employer is the first owner of any design right in the design.



		(4) If a design qualifies for design right protection by virtue of section 220 (qualification by reference to first marketing of articles made to the design), the above rules do not apply and the person by whom the articles in question are marketed is the first owner of the design right.



		Duration of design right.



		216.—



		(1) Design right expires—



		(a) fifteen years from the end of the calendar year in which the design was first recorded in a design document or an article was first made to the design, whichever first occurred, or



		(b) if articles made to the design are made available for sale or hire within five years from the end of that calendar year, ten years from the end of the calendar year in which that first occurred.



		(2) The reference in subsection (1) to articles being made available for sale or hire is to their being made so available anywhere in the world by or with the licence of the design right owner.



		Qualification for design right protection



		Qualifying individuals and qualifying persons.



		217.—



		(1) In this Part—



		“qualifying individual” means a citizen or subject of, or an individual habitually resident in, a qualifying country; and



		“qualifying person” means a qualifying individual or a body corporate or other body having legal personality which—



		(a) is formed under the law of a part of the United Kingdom or another qualifying country, and



		(b) has in any qualifying country a place of business at which substantial business activity is carried on.



		(2) References in this Part to a qualifying person include the Crown and the government of any other qualifying country.



		(3) In this section “qualifying country” means—



		(a) the United Kingdom,



		(b) a country to which this Part extends by virtue of an Order under section 255,



		(c) another member State of the European Economic Community, or



		(d) to the extent that an Order under section 256 so provides, a country designated under that section as enjoying reciprocal protection.



		(4) The reference in the definition of “qualifying individual” to a person’s being a citizen or subject of a qualifying country shall be construed—



		(a) in relation to the United Kingdom, as a reference to his being a British citizen, and



		(b) in relation to a colony of the United Kingdom, as a reference to his being a British Dependent Territories’ citizen by connection with that colony.



		(5) In determining for the purpose of the definition of “qualifying person” whether substantial business activity is carried on at a place of business in any country, no account shall be taken of dealings in goods which are at all material times outside that country.



		Qualification by reference to designer.



		218.—



		(1) This section applies to a design which is not created in pursuance of a commission or in the course of employment.



		(2) A design to which this section applies qualifies for design right protection if the designer is a qualifying individual or, in the case of a computer-generated design, a qualifying person.



		(3) A joint design to which this section applies qualifies for design right protection if any of the designers is a qualifying individual or, as the case may be, a qualifying person.



		(4) Where a joint design qualifies for design right protection under this section, only those designers who are qualifying individuals or qualifying persons are entitled to design right under section 215(1) (first ownership of design right: entitlement of designer).



		Qualification by reference to commissioner or employer.



		219.—



		(1) A design qualifies for design right protection if it is created in pursuance of a commission from, or in the course of employment with, a qualifying person.



		(2) In the case of a joint commission or joint employment a design qualifies for design right protection if any of the commissioners or employers is a qualifying person.



		(3) Where a design which is jointly commissioned or created in the course of joint employment qualifies for design right protection under this section, only those commissioners or employers who are qualifying persons are entitled to design right under section 215(2) or (3) (first ownership of design right: entitlement of commissioner or employer).



		Qualification by reference to first marketing.



		220.—



		(1) A design which does not qualify for design right protection under section 218 or 219 (qualification by reference to designer, commissioner or employer) qualifies for design right protection if the first marketing of articles made to the design—



		(a) is by a qualifying person who is exclusively authorised to put such articles on the market in the United Kingdom, and



		(b) takes place in the United Kingdom, another country to which this Part extends by virtue of an Order undersection 255, or another member State of the European Economic Community.



		(2) If the first marketing of articles made to the design is done jointly by two or more persons, the design qualifies for design right protection if any of those persons meets the requirements specified in subsection (1)(a).



		(3) In such a case only the persons who meet those requirements are entitled to design right under section 215(4) (first ownership of design right: entitlement of first marketer of articles made to the design).



		(4) In subsection (1)(a) “exclusively authorised” refers—



		(a) to authorisation by the person who would have been first owner of design right as designer, commissioner of the design or employer of the designer if he had been a qualifying person, or by a person lawfully claiming under such a person, and



		(b) to exclusivity capable of being enforced by legal proceedings in the United Kingdom.



		Power to make further provision as to qualification.



		221.—



		(1) Her Majesty may, with a view to fulfilling an international obligation of the United Kingdom, by Order in Council provide that a design qualifies for design right protection if such requirements as are specified in the Order are met.



		(2) An Order may make different provision for different descriptions of design or article; and may make such consequential modifications of the operation of sections 215 (ownership of design right) and sections 218 to 220 (other means of qualification) as appear to Her Majesty to be appropriate.



		(3) A statutory instrument containing an Order in Council under this section shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		Dealings with design right



		Assignment and licences.



		222.—



		(1) Design right is transmissible by assignment, by testamentary disposition or by operation of law, as personal or moveable property.



		(2) An assignment or other transmission of design right may be partial, that is, limited so as to apply—



		(a) to one or more, but not all, of the things the design right owner has the exclusive right to do;



		(b) to part, but not the whole, of the period for which the right is to subsist.



		(3) An assignment of design right is not effective unless it is in writing signed by or on behalf of the assignor.

		(2) In this section—



		“future design right” means design right which will or may come into existence in respect of a future design or class of designs or on the occurrence of a future event; and

		224. Where a design consisting of a design in which design right subsists is registered under the Registered Designs Act 1949 and the proprietor of the registered design is also the design right owner, an assignment of the right in the registered design shall be taken to be also an assignment of the design right, unless a contrary intention appears.



		Exclusive licences.



		225.—



		(1) In this Part an “exclusive licence” means a licence in writing signed by or on behalf of the design right owner authorising the licensee to the exclusion of all other persons, including the person granting the licence, to exercise a right which would otherwise be exercisable exclusively by the design right owner.

		the owner of the design right in the design in question may apply to the court for an order that the infringing article or other thing be delivered up to him or to such other person as the court may direct.



		(2) An application shall not be made after the end of the period specified in the following provisions of this section; and no order shall be made unless the court also makes, or it appears to the court that there are grounds for making, an order under section 231 (order as to disposal of infringing article, &c.).

		(3) Provision shall be made by rules of court as to the service of notice on persons having an interest in the article or other thing, and any such person is entitled—



		(a) to appear in proceedings for an order under this section, whether or not he was served with notice, and

		(i) the terms of the licence, and



		(ii) any pecuniary remedy already awarded or available to either of them in respect of the infringement;



		(b) no account of profits shall be directed if an award of damages has been made, or an account of profits has been directed, in favour of the other of them in respect of the infringement; and

		(4) Where the design right has been assigned to the design right owner in consideration of royalties—

		Miscellaneous



		Remedy of groundless threats of infringement proceedings.

		(a) a declaration to the effect that the threats are unjustifiable;



		(b) an injunction against the continuance of the threats;



		(c) damages in respect of any loss which he has sustained by the threats.



		(2) If the plaintiff proves that the threats were made and that he is a person aggrieved by them, he is entitled to the relief claimed unless the defendant shows that the acts in respect of which proceedings were threatened did constitute, or if done would have constituted, an infringement of the design right concerned.



		(3) Proceedings may not be brought under this section in respect of a threat to bring proceedings for an infringement alleged to consist of making or importing anything.



		(4) Mere notification that a design is protected by design right does not constitute a threat of proceedings for the purposes of this section.



		Licensee under licence of right not to claim connection with design right owner.



		254.—



		(1) A person who has a licence in respect of a design by virtue of section 237 or 238 (licences of right) shall not, without the consent of the design right owner—



		(a) apply to goods which he is marketing, or proposes to market, in reliance on that licence a trade description indicating that he is the licensee of the design right owner, or



		(b) use any such trade description in an advertisement in relation to such goods.



		(2) A contravention of subsection (1) is actionable by the design right owner.



		1968 c. 29.



		(3) In this section “trade description”, the reference to applying a trade description to goods and “advertisement” have the same meaning as in the Trade Descriptions Act 1968.

		255.—



		(1) This Part extends to England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.



		(2) Her Majesty may by Order in Council direct that this Part shall extend, subject to such exceptions and modifications as may be specified in the Order, to—



		(a) any of the Channel Islands,



		(b) the Isle of Man, or



		(c) any colony.



		(3) That power includes power to extend, subject to such exceptions and modifications as may be specified in the Order, any Order in Council made under section 221 (further provision as to qualification for design right protection) or section 256 (countries enjoying reciprocal protection).



		(4) The legislature of a country to which this Part has been extended may modify or add to the provisions of this Part, in their operation as part of the law of that country, as the legislature may consider necessary to adapt the provisions to the circumstances of that country; but not so as to deny design right protection in a case where it would otherwise exist.



		(5) Where a country to which this Part extends ceases to be a colony of the United Kingdom, it shall continue to be treated as such a country for the purposes of this Part until—



		(a) an Order in Council is made under section 256 designating it as a country enjoying reciprocal protection, or



		(b) an Order in Council is made declaring that it shall cease to be so treated by reason of the fact that the provisions of this Part as part of the law of that country have been amended or repealed.



		(6) A statutory instrument containing an Order in Council under subsection (5)(b) shall be subject to annulment in pursuance of a resolution of either House of Parliament.



		Countries enjoying reciprocal protection.



		256.—

		(3) The United Kingdom sector of the continental shelf means the areas designated by order under section 1(7) of the Continental Shelf Act 1964.



		Interpretation



		Construction of references to design right owner.



		258.—



		(1) Where different persons are (whether in consequence of a partial assignment or otherwise) entitled to different aspects of design right in a work, the design right owner for any purpose of this Part is the person who is entitled to the right in the respect relevant for that purpose.



		(2) Where design right (or any aspect of design right) is owned by more than one person jointly, references in this Part to the design right owner are to all the owners, so that, in particular, any requirement of the licence of the design right owner requires the licence of all of them.



		Joint designs.

		(1) In this Part a “joint design” means a design produced by the collaboration of two or more designers in which the contribution of each is not distinct from that of the other or others.

		(2) Subsection (1) does not affect the question whether design right subsists in any aspect of the design of the components of a kit as opposed to the design of the assembled article.



		Requirement of signature: application in relation to body corporate.



		261. The requirement in the following provisions that an instrument be signed by or on behalf of a person is also satisfied in the case of a body corporate by the affixing of its seal—

		section 223(1) (assignment of future design right),



		section 225(1) (grant of exclusive licence).

		Part IV Registered Designs



		Amendments of the Registered Designs Act 1949



		Registrable designs. 1949 c. 88.



		265.—



		(1) For section 1 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 (designs registrable under that Act) substitute—



		“Designs registrable under Act.



		1.—



		(1) In this Act ‘design’ means features of shape, configuration, pattern or ornament applied to an article by any industrial process, being features which in the finished article appeal to and are judged by the eye, but does not include—



		(a) a method or principle of construction, or



		(b) features of shape or configuration of an article which—



		(i) are dictated solely by the function which the article has to perform, or



		(ii) are dependent upon the appearance of another article of which the article is intended by the author of the design to form an integral part.



		(2) A design which is new may, upon application by the person claiming to be the proprietor, be registered under this Act in respect of any article, or set of articles, specified in the application.



		(3) A design shall not be registered in respect of an article if the appearance of the article is not material, that is, if aesthetic considerations are not normally taken into account to a material extent by persons acquiring or using articles of that description, and would not be so taken into account if the design were to be applied to the article.



		(4) A design shall not be regarded as new for the purposes of this Act if it is the same as a design—



		(a) registered in respect of the same or any other article in pursuance of a prior application, or



		(b) published in the United Kingdom in respect of the same or any other article before the date of the application,



		or if it differs from such a design only in immaterial details or in features which are variants commonly used in the trade.



		This subsection has effect subject to the provisions of sections 4, 6 and 16 of this Act.



		(5) The Secretary of State may by rules provide for excluding from registration under this Act designs for such articles of a primarily literary or artistic character as the Secretary of State thinks fit.”.



		(2) The above amendment does not apply in relation to applications for registration made before the commencement of this Part; but the provisions of section 266 apply with respect to the right in certain designs registered in pursuance of such an application.



		Provisions with respect to certain designs registered in pursuance of application made before commencement. 1949 c. 88.



		266.—



		(1) Where a design is registered under the Registered Designs Act 1949 in pursuance of an application made after 12th January 1988 and before the commencement of this Part which could not have been registered under section 1 of that Act as substituted by section 265 above—



		(a) the right in the registered design expires ten years after the commencement of this Part, if it does not expire earlier in accordance with the 1949 Act, and



		(b) any person is, after the commencement of this Part, entitled as of right to a licence to do anything which would otherwise infringe the right in the registered design.



		(2) The terms of a licence available by virtue of this section shall, in default of agreement, be settled by the registrar on an application by the person requiring the licence; and the terms so settled shall authorise the licensee to do everything which would be an infringement of the right in the registered design in the absence of a licence.



		(3) In settling the terms of a licence the registrar shall have regard to such factors as may be prescribed by the Secretary of State by order made by statutory instrument.



		No such order shall be made unless a draft of it has been laid before and approved by a resolution of each House of Parliament.



		(4) Where the terms of a licence are settled by the registrar, the licence has effect from the date on which the application to the registrar was made.



		(5) Section 11B of the 1949 Act (undertaking to take licence of right in infringement proceedings), as inserted bysection 270 below, applies where a licence is available as of right under this section, as it applies where a licence is available as of right under section 11A of that Act.



		(6) Where a licence is available as of right under this section, a person to whom a licence was granted before the commencement of this Part may apply to the registrar for an order adjusting the terms of that licence.



		(7) An appeal lies from any decision of the registrar under this section.



		1949 c. 88.



		(8) This section shall be construed as one with the Registered Designs Act 1949.



		Authorship and first ownership of designs.



		267.—



		(1) Section 2 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 (proprietorship of designs) is amended as follows.



		(2) For subsection (1) substitute—



		“(1) The author of a design shall be treated for the purposes of this Act as the original proprietor of the design, subject to the following provisions.



		(1A) Where a design is created in pursuance of a commission for money or money’s worth, the person commissioning the design shall be treated as the original proprietor of the design.



		(1B) Where, in a case not falling within subsection (1A), a design is created by an employee in the course of his employment, his employer shall be treated as the original proprietor of the design.”.



		(3) After subsection (2) insert—



		“(3) In this Act the ‘author’ of a design means the person who creates it.



		(4) In the case of a design generated by computer in circumstances such that there is no human author, the person by whom the arrangements necessary for the creation of the design are made shall be taken to be the author.”.



		(4) The amendments made by this section do not apply in relation to an application for registration made before the commencement of this Part.



		Right given by registration of design.



		268.—



		(1) For section 7 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 (right given by registration) substitute—



		“Right given by registration.



		7.—



		(1) The registration of a design under this Act gives the registered proprietor the exclusive right—



		(a) to make or import—



		(i) for sale or hire, or



		(ii) for use for the purposes of a trade or business, or



		(b) to sell, hire or offer or expose for sale or hire,



		an article in respect of which the design is registered and to which that design or a design not substantially different from it has been applied.



		(2) The right in the registered design is infringed by a person who without the licence of the registered proprietor does anything which by virtue of subsection (1) is the exclusive right of the proprietor.



		(3) The right in the registered design is also infringed by a person who without the licence of the registered proprietor makes anything for enabling any such article to be made, in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, as mentioned in subsection (1).



		(4) The right in the registered design is also infringed by a person who without the licence of the registered proprietor—



		(a) does anything in relation to a kit that would be an infringement if done in relation to the assembled article (see subsection (1)), or



		(b) makes anything for enabling a kit to be made or assembled, in the United Kingdom or elsewhere, if the assembled article would be such an article as is mentioned in subsection (1);



		and for this purpose a ‘kit’ means a complete or substantially complete set of components intended to be assembled into an article.



		(5) No proceedings shall be taken in respect of an infringement committed before the date on which the certificate of registration of the design under this Act is granted.



		(6) The right in a registered design is not infringed by the reproduction of a feature of the design which, by virtue of section 1(1)(b), is left out of account in determining whether the design is registrable.”.



		(2) The above amendment does not apply in relation to a design registered in pursuance of an application made before the commencement of this Part.



		Duration of right in registered design. 1949 c. 88.



		269.—



		(1) For section 8 of the Registered Designs Act 1949 (period of right) substitute—



		“Duration of right in registered design.



		8.—



		(1) The right in a registered design subsists in the first instance for a period of five years from the date of the registration of the design.



		(2) The period for which the right subsists may be extended for a second, third, fourth and fifth period of five years, by applying to the registrar for an extension and paying the prescribed renewal fee.



		(3) If the first, second, third or fourth period expires without such application and payment being made, the right shall cease to have effect; and the registrar shall, in accordance with rules made by the Secretary of State, notify the proprietor of that fact.



		(4) If during the period of six months immediately following the end of that period an application for extension is made and the prescribed renewal fee and any prescribed additional fee is paid, the right shall be treated as if it had never expired, with the result that—



		(a) anything done under or in relation to the right during that further period shall be treated as valid,



		(b) an act which would have constituted an infringement of the right if it had not expired shall be treated as an infringement, and



		(c) an act which would have constituted use of the design for the services of the Crown if the right had not expired shall be treated as such use.



		(5) Where it is shown that a registered design—



		(a) was at the time it was registered a corresponding design in relation to an artistic work in which copyright subsists, and



		(b) by reason of a previous use of that work would not have been registrable but for section 6(4) of this Act (registration despite certain prior applications of design).



		the right in the registered design expires when the copyright in that work expires, if that is earlier than the time at which it would otherwise expire, and it may not thereafter be renewed.



		(6) The above provisions have effect subject to the proviso to section 4(1) (registration of same design in respect of other articles, &c.).



		Restoration of lapsed right in design.



		8A.—



		(1) Where the right in a registered design has expired by reason of a failure to extend, in accordance withsection 8(2) or (4), the period for which the right subsists, an application for the restoration of the right in the design may be made to the registrar within the prescribed period.



		(2) The application may be made by the person who was the registered proprietor of the design or by any other person who would have been entitled to the right in the design if it had not expired; and where the design was held by two or more persons jointly, the application may, with the leave of the registrar, be made by one or more of them without joining the others.



		(3) Notice of the application shall be published by the registrar in the prescribed manner.



		(4) If the registrar is satisfied that the proprietor took reasonable care to see that the period for which the right subsisted was extended in accordance with section 8(2) or (4), he shall, on payment of any unpaid renewal fee and any prescribed additional fee, order the restoration of the right in the design.



		(5) The order may be made subject to such conditions as the registrar thinks fit, and if the proprietor of the design does not comply with any condition the registrar may revoke the order and give such consequential directions as he thinks fit.



		(6) Rules altering the period prescribed for the purposes of subsection (1) may contain such transitional provisions and savings as appear to the Secretary of State to be necessary or expedient.



		Effect of order for restoration of right.



		8B.—



		(1) The effect of an order under section 8A for the restoration of the right in a registered design is as follows.



		(2) Anything done under or in relation to the right during the period between expiry and restoration shall be treated as valid.



		(3) Anything done during that period which would have constituted an infringement if the right had not expired shall be treated as an infringement—



		(a) if done at a time when it was possible for an application for extension to be made undersection 8(4); or



		(b) if it was a continuation or repetition of an earlier infringing act.



		(4) If, after it was no longer possible for such an application for extension to be made and before publication of notice of the application for restoration, a person—



		(a) began in good faith to do an act which would have constituted an infringement of the right in the design if it had not expired, or



		(b) made in good faith effective and serious preparations to do such an act,



		he has the right to continue to do the act or, as the case may be, to do the act, notwithstanding the restoration of the right in the design; but this does not extend to granting a licence to another person to do the act.



		(5) If the act was done, or the preparations were made, in the course of a business, the person entitled to the right conferred by subsection (4) may—



		(a) authorise the doing of that act by any partners of his for the time being in that business, and



		(b) assign that right, or transmit it on death (or in the case of a body corporate on its dissolution), to any person who acquires that part of the business in the course of which the act was done or the preparations were made.



		(6) Where an article is disposed of to another in exercise of the rights conferred by subsection (4) or subsection (5), that other and any person claiming through him may deal with the article in the same way as if it had been disposed of by the registered proprietor of the design.



		(7) The above provisions apply in relation to the use of a registered design for the services of the Crown as they apply in relation to infringement of the right in the design.”.



		(2) The above amendment does not apply in relation to the right in a design registered in pursuance of an application made before the commencement of this Part.



		Powers exercisable for protection of the public interest. 1949 c. 88.



		270. In the Registered Designs Act 1949 after section 11 insert—

		(a) on a monopoly reference, that a monopoly situation exists and facts found by the Commission operate or may be expected to operate against the public interest,



		(b) on a merger reference, that a merger situation qualifying for investigation has been created and the creation of the situation, or particular elements in or consequences of it specified in the report, operate or may be expected to operate against the public interest,



		(c) on a competition reference, that a person was engaged in an anti-competitive practice which operated or may be expected to operate against the public interest, or



		(d) on a reference under section 11 of the Competition Act 1980 (reference of public bodies and certain other persons), that a person is pursuing a course of conduct which operates against the public interest,



		the appropriate Minister or Ministers may apply to the registrar to take action under this section.



		(2) Before making an application the appropriate Minister or Ministers shall publish, in such a manner as he or they think appropriate, a notice describing the nature of the proposed application and shall consider any representations which may be made within 30 days of such publication by persons whose interests appear to him or them to be affected.



		(3) If on an application under this section it appears to the registrar that the matters specified in the Commission’s report as being those which in the Commission’s opinion operate or operated or may be expected to operate against the public interest include—



		(a) conditions in licences granted in respect of a registered design by its proprietor restricting the use of the design by the licensee or the right of the proprietor to grant other licences, or



		(b) a refusal by the proprietor of a registered design to grant licences on reasonable terms,



		he may by order cancel or modify any such condition or may, instead or in addition, make an entry in the register to the effect that licences in respect of the design are to be available as of right.



		(4) The terms of a licence available by virtue of this section shall, in default of agreement, be settled by the registrar on an application by the person requiring the licence; and terms so settled shall authorise the licensee to do everything which would be an infringement of the right in the registered design in the absence of a licence.



		(5) Where the terms of a licence are settled by the registrar the licence has effect from the date on which the application to him was made.



		(6) An appeal lies from any order of the registrar under this section.



		(7) In this section ‘the appropriate Minister or Ministers’ means the Minister or Ministers to whom the report of the Monopolies and Mergers Commission was made.

		(a) no injunction shall be granted against him, and



		(b) the amount recoverable against him by way of damages or on an account of profits shall not exceed double the amount which would have been payable by him as licensee if such a licence on those terms had been granted before the earliest infringement.



		(2) An undertaking may be given at any time before final order in the proceedings, without any admission of liability.



		(3) Nothing in this section affects the remedies available in respect of an infringement committed before licences of right were available.”.

		compensation for any loss resulting from his not being awarded a contract to supply the articles to which the design is applied.



		(2) Compensation is payable only to the extent that such a contract could have been fulfilled from his existing manufacturing capacity; but is payable notwithstanding the existence of circumstances rendering him ineligible for the award of such a contract.



		(3) In determining the loss, regard shall be had to the profit which would have been made on such a contract and to the extent to which any manufacturing capacity was underused.



		(4) No compensation is payable in respect of any failure to secure contracts for the supply of articles to which the design is applied otherwise than for the services of the Crown.

		(6) In this paragraph—



		‘Crown use’, in relation to a design, means the doing of anything by virtue of paragraph 1 which would otherwise be an infringement of the right in the design; and



		‘the government department concerned’, in relation to such use, means the government department by whom or on whose authority the act was done.”.



		(2) In paragraph 3 of that Schedule (reference of disputes as to Crown use), for sub-paragraph (1) substitute—

		(2) The rules may contain such provision as the Secretary of State thinks fit regulating the registration of persons, and may in particular—



		(a) require the payment of such fees as may be prescribed, and



		(b) authorise in prescribed cases the erasure from the register of the name of any person registered in it, or the suspension of a person’s registration.



		(3) The rules may delegate the keeping of the register to another person, and may confer on that person—

		(b) such other functions, including disciplinary functions, as may be prescribed by rules.

		(a) relating to patents or designs, or



		(b) ancillary to, or arising out of the same subject matter as, proceedings relating to patents or designs,



		as may be specified in the order.



		(2) The special jurisdiction of a patents county court is exercisable throughout England and Wales, but rules of court may provide for a matter pending in one such court to be heard and determined in another or partly in that and partly in another.



		(3) A patents county court may entertain proceedings within its special jurisdiction notwithstanding that no pecuniary remedy is sought.



		(4) An order under this section providing for the discontinuance of any of the special jurisdiction of a patents county court may make provision as to proceedings pending in the court when the order comes into operation.



		(5) Nothing in this section shall be construed as affecting the ordinary jurisdiction of a county court.

		(1) No order shall be made under section 41 of the County Courts Act 1984 (power of High Court to order proceedings to be transferred from the county court) in respect of proceedings within the special jurisdiction of a patents county court.



		(2) In considering in relation to proceedings within the special jurisdiction of a patents county court whether an order should be made under section 40 or 42 of the County Courts Act 1984 (transfer of proceedings from or to the High Court), the court shall have regard to the financial position of the parties and may order the transfer of the proceedings to a patents county court or, as the case may be, refrain from ordering their transfer to the High Court notwithstanding that the proceedings are likely to raise an important question of fact or law.



		Limitation of costs where pecuniary claim could have been brought in patents county court.



		290.—



		(1) Where an action is commenced in the High Court which could have been commenced in a patents county court and in which a claim for a pecuniary remedy is made, then, subject to the provisions of this section, if the plaintiff recovers less than the prescribed amount, he is not entitled to recover any more costs than those to which he would have been entitled if the action had been brought in the county court.

		(4) Where the court exercises either of those powers on the application of a party, the remuneration or fees payable to the Patent Office shall be at such rate as may be determined in accordance with county court rules and shall be costs of the proceedings unless otherwise ordered by the judge.



		(5) Where the court exercises either of those powers of its own motion, the remuneration or fees payable to the Patent Office shall be at such rate as may be determined by the Lord Chancellor with the approval of the Treasury and shall be paid out of money provided by Parliament.

		(4) An appeal lies from an order made under this section by a magistrates’ court—



		(a) in England and Wales, to the Crown Court, and
