EU Digital Single Market Strategy

In 2015, the European Commission unveiled its Digital Single Market (DSM) Strategy, which includes plans to create a secure and unrestricted DSM in which consumers are free to shop online across borders, and businesses can sell across the EU regardless of their location. In a bid to give financial and economic impetus to the EU, the DSM Strategy, launched on 6 May 2015, housed a raft of legislative and non-legislative measures resting on three core pillars, namely: • ensuring better access for consumers and businesses to online goods and services across Europe • creating the right conditions for digital networks and services to flourish, and • maximising the growth potential of the European Digital Economy

Indirect copyright protection

The essence of section 51(1) of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (CDPA 1988) is that creating a three-dimensional article from a design document is not a copyright infringement unless the corresponding three-dimensional article qualifies as an artistic work in itself, which would consequently be protected under CDPA 1988, s 4(1)(a). CDPA 1988, s 51(1) reads: ‘…it is not an infringement of any copyright in a design document or model recording or embodying a design for anything other than an artistic work or a typeface to make an article to the design or to copy an article made to the design.’
