Under the new  scheme, a licence can be granted by the Intellectual Property Office so  that these works can be reproduced on websites, in books and on TV  without breaking the law, while protecting the rights of owners so they  can be remunerated if they come forward.<\/p>\n<p> Baroness Neville-Rolfe, Minister for Intellectual Property said &#8220;The  UK&#8217;s trailblazing orphan works licensing scheme enables access to a  wider range of our culturally important works.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> &#8220;The scheme has been designed to protect right holders and give them a  proper return if they reappear, while ensuring that citizens and  consumers will be able to access more of our country&#8217;s great creations,  more easily.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The scheme also aims to reunite copyright holders with their works and  ensure they are paid for their creations, by requiring the applicant to  conduct a diligent search and allowing the right holder to search the  register of granted licences.<\/p>\n<p> This ground breaking scheme builds on UK and international best practice  and is the first to use an electronic application system and searchable  register of the licences granted. It is being implemented alongside the  EU Orphan Works Directive that enables cultural institutions to  digitise certain orphan works in their collection and display them on  their websites. Together these 2 schemes will help to display more of  the UK&#8217;s cultural work at home and across Europe.<\/p>\n<p> The UK scheme will be administered by the UK Intellectual Property  Office and is part of the wider programme of work to modernise the UK&#8217;s  copyright system following the Hargreaves Review. Users will pay a fee  to obtain a licence to use the work, which will be kept for the  copyright owner should they come forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><br \/><span class=\"normal\">UK Intellectual Property  Office<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new licensing scheme launched\u00a0 could give wider access to at least 91 million culturally&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4734"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4734\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
