Copyright reform - January 2000
Changes to copyright rights in packaging and labelling under Schedule 22 of the Copyright Amendment Act (No.1) 1998
The Copyright Amendment Act (No.1) became law on 30 July 1998. Schedule 2 of the Act will reform copyright law as it relates to the importation of packaging and labelling, with effect from the end of January 2000. From then, parallel importation of 'non-infringing accessories' will not be able to be prevented by using the copyright materials on, or with the accessories.
