Re-Use of Public Sector Information
with Rosemary Jay, Partner at Pinsent Masons - courses in London

This Workshop, led by Rosemary Jay, of Pinsent Masons, is designed to support those who are dealing with the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2005.  The topics covered in this session include:

  • what does re-use mean?
  • formalities of making an application
  • the relationship with Freedom of Information, Environmental Information and other access rights
  • when can an authority license re-use and when can the user do so without permission under the Intellectual Property exemptions?
  • the relevant intellectual property rights - database rights, copyrights
  • what are the limits of the Intellectual Property exemptions?
  • when is material exempt from re-use?
  • what are re-use licenses, what should they cover?
  • charging regimes - trading funds and others

The session will include case studies and worked examples.  There will be ample opportunity for discussion, questions and debate.  Delegates are encouraged to bring queries to this interactive session.

The Workshop will help participants to:

  • identify what each organisation needs to do to handle applications for re-use
  • understand the interface with other access regimes
  • review the options for licensing and appreciate why licenses should be used and how they work
  • understand the complaints mechanism and how to deal with cases if things go wrong
  • anticipate what types of information may be most useful and when requests can be refused

The Workshop leader is Rosemary Jay, Partner at Pinsent Masons.
