The Copyright and Rights in Performances (Licensing of Orphan Works) Regulations 2014


The Regulations appoint the Comptroller-General of Patents, Designs and Trade Marks as the authorising body with the power to grant licences of orphan works in respect of which a diligent search has been carried out in accordance with the requirements of regulation 4. “Relevant work”, “right holder” and “orphan work” are defined in regulation 3. Regulation 4 provides that a diligent search requires a reasonable search of the relevant sources to identify the right holder of the relevant work and provides that the relevant sources must, as a minimum, include the register maintained by the authorising body, any relevant databases maintained by the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market and, where there is no record of the relevant work on the register or in the databases, any sources listed for that category of work in Part 2 of Schedule ZA1 to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. The authorising body has the power to issue guidance on what sources may additionally be relevant for a particular relevant work.
