Notes
The notification by Australia to the WTO under Article 63.2 of TRIPS states:
'The Copyright Regulations 2017 (2017 Regulations) remake the Copyright Regulations 1969 (1969 Regulations) and the Copyright Tribunal (Procedure) Regulations 1969 (Tribunal Regulations) into a single consolidated instrument and to modernize certain provisions from those previous regulations.
The 2017 Regulations prescribe a range of matters that the Copyright Act 1968 requires or permits to be prescribed, or that are necessary or convenient to be prescribed, for carrying out or giving effect to the Act. This includes provisions relating to copyright in original works or other subject matter, remedies for infringement of copyright, the copying and communications of copyright material by educational and other institutions, and provision for or in relation to procedure in connection with the making of references and applications to the Copyright Tribunal, and regulation of proceedings before the Tribunal.
The 2017 Regulations also reflect amendments made to the Copyright Act 1968 by the Copyright Amendment (Disability Access and Other Measures) Act 2017. The majority of provisions of the 2017 Regulations commenced at the same time as Schedule 1 of the Copyright Amendment (Disability Access and Other Measures) Act 2017 on 22 December 2017.'
