Article 10—Publicity Measures

Abstract

This chapter refers to Article 10 of Directive 2019/790 regarding copyright in Europe, which outlines provisions on publicity measures. It talks about Member States that are tasked to ensure that information from cultural heritage institutions, collective management organisations, or relevant public authorities is made permanently, easily, and effectively accessible on a public single online portal. It also clarifies that the portal will be established and managed by the European Union Intellectual Property Office in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 386/2012. The chapter discusses additional appropriate publicity measures that should be taken by Member States regarding the ability of collective management organisations to license works or other subject matter. It suggests that the awareness of rightholders could be raised in other Member States or third countries and covered by publicity measures.
