Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
Section 52 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 limits the duration of copyright in artistic works to 25 years in respect of the exploitation of those works by an industrial process. This Order defines the meaning of “industrial process” for that purpose and excludes certain articles of a literary or artistic character from the operation of the section. It reproduces the effect of the Copyright (Industrial Designs) Rules 1957 (which are revoked by this Order) and the application of rule 26 of the Designs Rules 1984 (S.I. 1984/1989) by section 10(4) of the Copyright Act 1956 (c. 74). The Order revokes the Copyright (Industrial Process and Excluded Articles) Order 1989 (which was defective) before that Order comes into force.
