The Objectives of the SCA IPR Consultancy

presented by Intellectual Property Rights and licensing within the context of building a content framework

Main areas of work:– Best practices and draft policy development– Licensing framework– Case Studies and Use Cases– Lobbying and advocacy



Opportunities and Challenges: Public Sector Organisations Vast range of organisations Different governance structures Different funding arrangements Using different business models to support core activities Varying approaches to access Range of staff and “non staff”



Shared IPR Issues: The Law Aim to create a balanced framework However, very few exceptions for users of great benefit Does not address issue of orphan works Uncertainty regarding legislation in force Web 2.0 engagement and associated issues not covered Ultimately, law restricts flow of content

In From the Cold: Survey of Orphan Works

• SCA/Collections Trust joint initiative to assess the impact of ‘orphan works' (works for which the copyright owner is unknown or cannot be traced) on the delivery of services to the public.

• As part of the work, online survey to allow cultural heritage, education, health and other public service organizations to register how the issue affects their own service provision.

• The first research of its kind into the extent of orphan works across the UK and Europe, the survey received 503 responses from the collections across the United Kingdom and overseas.

– Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Romania, Russian Federation, Sweden, USA

• The survey is the first stage in a wider project to tackle the issue of orphan works. Further work will be undertaken over the coming months, including the publication of case studies providing detailed examples of impact of orphan works on the provision of access to public sector content.
