Part 1 of the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 19 88 (“the Act”) confers the protection of 
copyright on the creators of certain works (“Part 1  protections”). It applies to works originating 
from certain countries and is applied by the Copyri ght and Performances (Application to Other 
Countries) Order 2016 (“the 2016 Order”), made unde r powers conferred by the Act, to works 
originating from certain other countries. Part 2 of  the Act confers the protection of rights on 
performers and persons having recording rights in r elation to a performance (“Part 2 protections”). 
It applies to performances connected with certain c ountries and is also applied by the 2016 Order 
to performances connected with certain other countr ies.

article.  
These changes implement the United Kingdom’s obliga tions to provide national treatment of
