Consultation description

The government is holding a call for views as part of a post-implementation review (PIR) of the legislation. A PIR reviews the impact of the legislation within 5 years of coming into force.

The legislation affected the term of copyright protection for artistic works and removed compulsory licensing for works where copyright was revived. The main affected groups are artists and designers; publishers; educational institutions and museums; and manufacturers and retailers of replicas. The affected works are most likely furniture, lighting, jewellery and ceramics and other works of artistic craftsmanship.

We ask for your views on whether the legislation has achieved its original objectives. We would like evidence-based responses where possible.

This call for views will run for 10 weeks. It is open from 22 June 2021 and will close on 31 August 2021.
