At the Court at Buckingham Palace, the 11th day of February 2015
Present,
The Queen’s Most Excellent Majesty in Council
Her Majesty is satisfied, to the extent this Order relates to a country that is not a Convention country nor another member State of the European Union, that provision has been made or will be made under the law of that country giving adequate protection to owners of copyright in respect of works under Part 1 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and to the owners of rights in British performances.
1988 c.48.
See sections 159(4) and 208(2) and (3) of that Act for the meanings of “Convention country” and “British performances” under those sections.
Accordingly Her Majesty, by and with the advice of Her Privy Council, in exercise of the powers conferred upon Her by sections 159 and 208 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, makes the following Order:
Section 159 was amended by regulation 2(2) of, and Schedule 2 to, the Copyright and Related Rights Regulations 2003 S.I.2003/2498. A new section 159 is prospectively substituted by section 22 of the Intellectual Property Act 2014 (c.18) but no day for the coming into force of section 22 has been appointed.
