<p>The Government’s White Paper on the future relationship sets out that future cooperation
on intellectual property would provide important protections for rightsholders, giving
them a confident and secure basis from which to operate in and between the UK and
the EU.</p><p> </p><p>As we establish our future partnership with the EU, we aim to
agree continued cooperation on intellectual property, where there is mutual benefit
for the UK and EU. We are open to exploring whether this should include certain cross-border
copyright mechanisms and arrangements, which will need to be the subject of negotiation.</p><p>
</p><p>The UK recognises and values the importance of the creative industries to the
UK economy. Over and above our future arrangements with the EU, the UK is a member
of many international treaties and agreements protecting copyright. This means that
the majority of UK copyright works (such as films, music, books and photographs) are
protected around the world, irrespective of our relationship with the EU.</p>
