Regulation and Licensing of Collective Management Organisations – Public Consultation on Proposed Draft Regulations

The Ministry of Law and the Intellectual Property Office of Singapore are conducting a Public Consultation on the proposed draft Copyright (Collective Management Organisations) Regulations 2023 (“Regulations“). The Public Consultation will be held from 7 November 2022 to 4 December 2022.

The draft Regulations implement proposals made at an earlier consultation in 2020 and take in the feedback received on those proposals. While Collective Management Organisations (“CMOs“) have thus far not been subject to substantive regulation, the draft Regulations set out a series of licence conditions which CMOs must comply with, which address issues relating to members’ rights and dispute resolution between the CMO and its members and users. This Update highlights the key elements of the draft Regulations in this Public Consultation.
