	Berne three-step test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Berne three-step test is a set of constraints on the limitations and exceptions to exclusive rights under national copyright laws.
		The three-step test may prove to be extremely important if any nations attempt to reduce the scope of copyright law, because unless the WTO decides that their modifications comply with the test, such states are likely to face trade sanctions.

		The Berne Convention provided for a minimum term of copyright protection of the life of the author plus fifty years, but parties were free to provide longer terms of copyright protection, as the European Union did with the 1993 Directive on harmonising the term of copyright protection.
		The provisions of the Berne Convention are also supplemented by the WIPO Copyright Treaty of 1996, which concerns computer programs, databases, and technological copy protection measures.
		The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, adopted at Berne in 1886, first established the recognition of copyrights between sovereign nations.

		The test states that the person concerned must be carrying out the activities in the 'knowledge, or with reasonable grounds to know that they enable or facilitate unauthorised circumvention of a copyright protection device'.

	Public Domain Enhancement Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the bill's current form, the tax would be a one-time affair, a sum of $1 per work charged 50 years after publication, only on works first published within the United States (as charging it from foreigners would violate the Berne convention except in some interpretations of the Berne three-step test).
		Failure to pay for three years would allow the work to irreversibly lapse into the public domain; if payment is made, the copyright is extended to the end of the normal maximum term, currently 95 years for a work made for hire.
		The purpose of the bill is to make it easier to determine who holds a copyright (by determining the identity of the person who paid the tax), and to allow copyrights which no longer hold the interest of their holders to pass into the public domain.

		The three step test of the convention is that the exception must be specific and limited, it must not interfere with the normal exploitation of work and it must not prejudice the legitimate interest of the copyrights owner.
		It also states that contracting parties shall, when applying the Berne Convention, confine any limitations of, or exceptions to, rights provided for therein, to certain special cases that do not conflict with the normal exploitation of the work and do not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author.
		Having considered all the advice regarding the Berne Convention, the WIPO Treaty and the Constitution, which I can share with Members, these issues would be better resolved by agreement.

	Limitations and exceptions to copyright
		These treaties have harmonized the exclusive rights which must be provided by copyright laws,and the Berne three-step test operates to constrain thekinds of copyright exceptions and limitations which individual nations can enact.
		On the other hand, international copyright treaties place almost no requirements on national governments to provideexemptions from exclusive rights (one notable exception to this is Article 10(1) of the Berne Convention, which guarantees a limited right tomake quotations from copyrighted works).

	1 THE CONDITIONAL ACCESS DIRECTIVE
		In the form of the Berne “three-step-test,” the Directive indicates that the user may not perform acts under this provision which conflict with the normal exploitation of the database, or which unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the database maker.
		The exceptions, which are exhaustively set out, are to be applied and interpreted using the so-called Berne three-step-test, a requirement not imposed under the international conventions.
		Under this so-called three-step test, the exceptions “shall only be applied to certain specific cases and shall not be interpreted in such a way as to allow their application to be used in a manner that unreasonably prejudices the rightholders’ legitimate interests or conflicts with the normal exploitation of their works or other subject matter.”

		In light of the changes suggested in Part Three, the Ministry's preferred response would be to amend section 84 so that it applies to all communication works.
		As noted above in Part Three, it is not entirely clear whether webcasting falls within the existing definition in the Act of cable programme service.
		The Ministry's preferred approach in respect of the communication right, discussed in Part Three, is to create a technology-neutral right of communication to the public, which would cover both the transmission and making available of works.

		In the meantime, international copyright laws were developing and since the Berlin revision of the Berne Convention in 1908, it had been revised twice in subsequent years.(62) Following the Brussels revision in 1928 and the Universal Copyright Convention signed in 1952, the need for further reform of the UK copyright law was felt.
		The Preamble to the Berne Diplomatic Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works 1886 states that 'the countries of the Union, being equally animated by the desire to protect, in as effective and uniform a manner as possible.
		It is interesting to note that the Berne Convention does not use the words 'exceptions' or 'limitations', but employs the verb 'to permit' or the adjective 'permissible' when referring to 'free uses'.

		However, copying the whole of a work makes a fair use claim more difficult.

		The NPA appreciates that libraries and archives in their submissions relating to digitisation, are attempting to respond proactively to new opportunities in the digital age.
		If there is a market for digitised versions of any work, then that opportunity belongs to the copyright owner, not the downstream user - including libraries.

		STM believes that all permitted library copying, access and supply, particularly internationally, must comply with the Berne Convention "3 step test" and apply only in special cases, not conflict with normal exploitation of the work and not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate rights of the rightsholder.
		Local courts, and international appeal courts such as TRIPS tribunals or the European Court of Justice, must apply the 3-step test now to find whether an exception is permissible or not, and clear evidence of non-compliance will be needed.
		The Berne Convention, as the world's leading copyright treaty, provides not only for international protection of copyright itself, but also makes provision for exceptions to copyright.

	SSRN-The Three-Step Test Frenzy - Why the TRIPS Panel Decision Might be Considered Per Incuriam by David Brennan
		Some concluding comments are made as to the desirability of "the three-step test frenzy"; the increasing willingness in international copyright law to attempt to define the limits of copyright by reference to the three-step test.
		That error led the Panel to apply the three-step test contained in TRIPS Article 13 to everything that was to be decided before it.
		This significant and long-awaited decision is premised upon a fundamental error in the Panel's interpretation of the relationship between TRIPS Article 13 and the incorporated Article 11bis of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works ("Berne").

		Noted law professor John Duffy is on the KSR brief, which argues that the CAFC’s obviousness test goes against Supreme Court precedent, against precedent of other circuits, and is bad policy.
