EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Patents Act 1977 (“the Act”).
Directive 2001/29/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2001 on the harmonisation of certain aspects of copyright and related rights in the information society (OJ L17 22/6/2001, p 10) (“the Directive”) is concerned with the legal protection of copyright and related rights in the framework of the internal market. Article 5(3)(e) permits a Member State to provide for exceptions and limitations to the authors’ rights of reproduction and communication to the public of their works provided for by articles 2 and 3 of the Directive to ensure the proper performance of administrative proceedings. Any such limitation must comply with the three step test set out in article 5(5).
Regulation 2 inserts a new section 118A into the Act which contains an exception from copyright. This provides that copyright is not infringed in a copyright work when a document is copied or made available electronically to the public for the purpose of inspection in accordance with section 118 of the Act. The exception from the right to communicate the work to the public does not extend to broadcasting the work.
A full impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of business and the voluntary sector is available from the Patents Legal Section, Intellectual Property Office, Concept house, Cardiff Road, Newport, NP10 8QQ and is annexed to the Explanatory Memorandum (together with a transposition note) which is available alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk

Asesiadau Effaith
Impact Assessments generally accompany all UK Government interventions of a regulatory nature that affect the private sector, civil society organisations and public services. They apply regardless of whether the regulation originates from a domestic or international source and can accompany primary (Acts etc) and secondary legislation (SIs). An Impact Assessment allows those with an interest in the policy area to understand:
- Why the government is proposing to intervene;
- The main options the government is considering, and which one is preferred;
- How and to what extent new policies may impact on them; and,
- The estimated costs and benefits of proposed measures.
