Territorial Extent and Application
5.The Act makes amendments in relation to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988, the Patents Act 1977, the Registered Designs Act 1949 and the Freedom of Information Act 2000. These Acts extend to the whole of the United Kingdom. The provisions of the Patents Act 1977 and the Registered Designs Act 1949 extend to the Isle of Man. Consequently the provisions of Section 23 of the Act (power to make consequential or transitional provision etc.) are also extended to the Isle of Man. Amendments and repeals made by this Act to other Acts have the same extent as the enactment being amended or repealed. Section 21 extends to the whole of the United Kingdom.
