This Order brings into force section 74 of the Act which repeals section 52 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. Section 52 introduced a copyright exception into United Kingdom law relating to the industrial exploitation of artistic works which limits copyright protection to a period of 25 years from the end of the year in which such articles are first marketed.
