Following
the recommendations in the Hargreaves Review of Innovation and Growth to
modernise copyright exceptions, the IPO has today published the first pieces of
draft secondary legislation for technical review. The draft legislation is available
here
and it comprises exceptions for private
copying, parody, quotation and public administration.
Members
of the public, creators, legal experts and industry groups are invited to
comment on the legal drafting. The closing date for written comments on the first four exceptions is 17 July 2013.
The IPO will also be
holding a series of open meetings in
the week commencing 8 July 2013, to
give an opportunity for discussion of the drafts. Numbers will be limited so the
IPO advises that you book your place by contacting Copyrightconsultation@ipo.gov.uk.
