Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988

he main UK statutes in play now are:

• Statute of Anne 1709
• Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (Read the Full Act Here )
• The Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 (Read the Full Act Here )
• Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003 (AKA the EU copyright directive) (Read the Full Act Here )

The Statute of Anne was the first British copyright law, enacted in 1709 and entering into force on April 10, 1710. This statute first accorded exclusive rights to authors rather than publishers and it included protections for consumers of printed work ensuring that publishers could not control their use after sale. It also limited the duration of such exclusive rights to 28 years, after which all works would pass into the public domain. It is generally considered to be the first fully-fledged copyright law in the world.

It’s been the long held view that, for copyright, a scheme of compulsory registration before publication, such that exists in patents act, is more trouble than it is worth; and under the current Berne Convention system there’s no need for registration of title at all.

But the English copyright registration system started by the Statute of Anne and survived in one form or another until 1912, was more flexible. Under the Copyright Act 1842 registration at Stationers’ Hall was merely evidence of title, not proof; and there was no obligation to register unless one wanted to bring an action for infringement, in which case it was held to be sufficient to register before issuing the writ (Warne v Lawrence (1886) 54 LT 371).

Since the Statute of Anne almost three hundred years ago, countries like the United States have adopted the fundamental principles of English copyright law into their own copyright system. One crucial feature of US copyright law, which is noticeably absent and desperately needed in English law, is the concept of copyright registration.

Fast forward to today and the current UK law that covers intellectual property rights are the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 , The Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 and Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003 (AKA the EU copyright directive).

International Copyright treaties

The most influential international copyright treaty for copyright is the Berne Convention . The WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation) provide a good summary of its 3 basic principle (as shown below). All countries who sign up this treaty will be expected to abide by these important basic principles ( Source : WIPO ) :

(a) Works originating in one of the Contracting States (that is, works the author of which is a national of such a State or works first published in such a State) must be given the same protection in each of the other  Contracting States as the latter grants to the works of its own nationals (principle of “national treatment”) .

(b) Protection must not be conditional upon compliance with any formality (principle of “automatic” protection)

(c) Protection is independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work (principle of “independence” of protection). If, however, a Contracting State provides for a longer term of protection than the minimum prescribed by the Convention and the work ceases to be protected in the country of origin, protection may be denied once protection in the country of origin ceases.

Here is an up-to-date list from the WIPO of 177 countries who have signed it. It includes most of the world’s countries.
