I think that they may even have already heard about it down there. <br /><br />Perhaps this will be done so that fanciers of felicitous feline fillips of IP philosophy can follow Merpel's peripatetic paw steps. <br /><br />"Break a leg" as they say in show biz - indeed three times, once for each venue.<br /><br />Best regards, <br /><br />Uncle Wiggily<br /><br />Uncle Wiggilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-876288095525401812014-10-25T05:33:35.526+01:002014-10-25T05:33:35.526+01:00Non-printed e.g. woven or embroidered patterns, ta...Non-printed e.g. woven or embroidered patterns, tartans, engraved patterns?<br /><br />Printed matter not primarily of a literary or artistic character e.g. functional patterns such as camouflage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-72686099585370737082014-10-24T16:39:12.545+01:002014-10-24T16:39:12.545+01:00"What's more, the repeal of section 52 wi...<i>"What's more, the repeal of section 52 will affect all artistic copyright, including that relating to 2D works."</i><br /><br />Yes, in principle, but in practice most 2D works are already excluded from the effects of s.52 by article 3 of the <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1989/1070/contents/made" rel="nofollow">Copyright (Industrial Process and Excluded Articles)(No. 2) Order 1989</a>, specifically:<br />"printed matter primarily of a literary or artistic character, including book jackets, calendars, certificates, coupons, dress-making patterns, greetings cards, labels, leaflets, maps, plans, playing cards, postcards, stamps, trade advertisements, trade forms and cards, transfers and similar articles."<br /><br />Does anyone have any good examples of 2D works that will in fact be affected by the change?<br /><br />Most 3D works are protected by design right, not copyright, so are also unaffected by the change in the law. The main category of 3D works that <i>are</i> protected by copyright is "works of artistic craftsmanship", which is why furniture is almost universally used as the example.Peter Smithnoreply@blogger.com
