- Description
- In December 2006 Andrew Gowers reported his findings on the UK’s Intellectual Property regime. While he concluded that the system was broadly satisfactory he identified a number of areas where improvements could be made. These included modifying copyright rules to improve access to, and use of, copyright material for private individuals, students and libraries. This consultation looks at how those adjustments might be made. Identifying where the boundaries should lie is critical in ensuring that the copyright system remains fit for today’s world. The consulation was launched by Lord Triesman and ran till April 2008.
