Thefollowing is a summary of the position in respect of literary works:if a work is published commercially within 75 years from the end of thecalendar year in which the work was made, it has a life of 50 years from theend of the year in which it was first published. Section 163(3)(b) of theCopyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 applies.If the work is not published within 75 years from the year in which thematerial was made it would have a copyright life of either:125 years from the end of the year in which the work was made (Section163(3)(a)); or50 years from the end of the calendar in which the new copyright provisionscame into force (1 August 1989). This is under Schedule 1, Section 41(3) ofthe Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.whichever is the later.I have provided a link to Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 -http://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/Ukpga_19880048_en_1.htmhttp://www.legislation.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1988/Ukpga_19880048_en_1.htmhttp://www.hmso.gov.uklI hope this helps.Yours sincerelyMargaret FerreHer Majesty's Stationery OfficeSt Clements House2-16 ColegateNorwichNR3 1BQT: 01603 723010F: 01603 723000Her Majesty's Stationery Office - delivers access and reuse ofgovernment information through innovative e-services.
