Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Bill 2018
Public bill · Government · Presented
Modernises Ireland’s copyright and intellectual property rules by updating the Copyright and Related Rights Act 2000, following the 2013 “Modernising Copyright” report and EU copyright rules. It makes it easier to bring lower-value IP cases in the Circuit Court and District Court, expands lawful use for education, research, libraries, archives, parody, criticism, and accessible copies for people who are blind or visually impaired, and updates how digital works are deposited and preserved. It also makes technical and fine-related changes to the patents, trade marks and industrial designs laws.
