Derivative works

Works, such as compilations and anthologies, that draw on other works. Other examples are books and articles quoting or summarising source material, such as in legal textbooks or a film being made from a book. Each of the original and derivative works has its own copyright.

Simultaneous publication

A work qualifies for copyright protection if it was first published in the UK or in another country specified by CDPA 1988. It frequently happens that a work is published in two or more countries at approximately the same time, one good for copyright purposes and the other not. Accordingly, CDPA 1988 provides that a publication in the UK or other qualifying country shall be treated as first publication even though it was previously published elsewhere, provided the earlier publication was within the previous 30 days.

Term Directive

The EU Term Directive, Directive 2006/116/EC (codified) was intended to harmonise national terms of protection of copyright works which were generally extended to life of the author plus 70 years for copyright works. The EU Term Directive was implemented in the UK by the Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995, SI 1995/3297.
