What does the 1988 copyright, designs and patents act say?
It says: “An Act to restate the law of copyright, with amendments; to make fresh provision as to the rights of performers and others in performances; to confer a design right in original designs; to amend the Registered Designs Act 1949; to make provision with respect to patent agents and trade mark agents; to confer patents and designs jurisdiction on certain county courts….” And so on. This is an act with 306 sections and 8 schedules, which makes it rather long for a helpful summary. If you’ve got a specific question about it, then you’ll have to be specific.
