(This note is not part of the Order) 
This Order amends the Patents (Isle of Man) Order 2 013 to make further modifications to the 
Patents Act 1977 in its application to the Isle of Man. 
Paragraph 1 of the Schedule to the Order refers to the relevant Act of Tynwald on perjury which 
applies in the Isle of Man instead of the Perjury A ct 1911 which applies in England and the 
Perjury (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 which applies  in Northern Ireland. 
The other amendments in this Order correspond to th e amendments made to the Act (as it has 
effect in the United Kingdom) by the Copyright (Pub lic Administration) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 
2014/1385) and the Patents (Supplementary Protectio n Certificates) Regulations 2014 (S.I. 
2014/2411). 
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been pr oduced for this instrument as no impact on the 
private or voluntary sectors in the United Kingdom is foreseen.
