The Intellectual Property Point-in-Time Service has been updated to include the Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Act 2018 (Cth) (Act 157 of 2018) and the Copyright Amendment (Service Providers) Regulations 2018 (Cth).
Act 157 of 2018
The Copyright Amendment (Online Infringement) Act 2018 amends the scope of the online copyright infringement scheme in section 115A of the Copyright Act 1968 to enable copyright owners to more effectively enforce their rights by disrupting the supply to Australians by online locations operated outside Australia of material that infringes copyright, or facilitates the infringement of copyright.
Copyright Amendment (Service Providers) Regulations 2018
These regulations extend the operation of Part 6 of the Copyright Regulations 2017 to other types of service providers, consequential to amendments made by the Copyright Amendment (Service Providers) Act 2018.
The amendments made by this Regulation have been updated in the Point-in-Time Intellectual Property Service current to 23 January 2019. (NB: Subscription required).
