Associated legal terms

Revived copyright

Prior to 1996, the term of copyright in original works used to be 50 years in the UK while in other European countries it was 50, 70 or 80 years. This discrepancy was addressed at an EU level and, as a result of this, in the UK, the copyright term increased to 70 years. As a result of the increase in the term of protection, in certain circumstances, copyright can be revived where it has expired in a work, or extended. ‘Revived copyright’ means any copyright which subsists, by virtue of the provisions of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) as amended by the Duration of Copyright and Rights in Performances Regulations 1995, SI 1995/3297, after having expired under the provisions of CDPA 1988 as they stood immediately before 1 January 1996, including the provisions of Schedule 1 continuing the effect of earlier enactments, or any earlier enactment relating to copyright.
