Abstract
This report highlights the main UK copyright decisions in 2016, which relate to the definition of “substantial part” in the context of copyright infringement, the interaction between the fair dealing provisions and the Information Society Directive, the relationship between copyright enforcement and competition law, the interaction between national legislation on copyright damages and the Enforcement Directive, and the effect of choice of law clauses on statutory rights conferred by the copyright legislation of other jurisdictions. It also discusses the repeal of Sec. 52 of the CDPA, which had previously limited the term of copyright protection for artistic works that had been exploited through industrial manufacturing to 25 years from the date of first marketing.
