Other Systems for Legal Use without Clearance Fair Use – Non-exhaustive Model Fair Dealing – Exhaustive Model
Fair Use Applicable in the US Purpose and character of use Nature of work (Factual vs Creative) Amount of work being copied Effect on market for work
Fair Dealing UK, Commonwealth, HK Prescribed in Hong Kong Copyright Ordinance  Research and private study Criticism, review and news reporting Incidental inclusion of copyright material Provisions for disabilities Fair dealing for purposes instruction and examination Legal or Governmental Use
Fair Dealing (Cont') Within the prescribed categories, 4 points for considerations in Education within HKCO the purpose and nature of the dealing the nature of the work the amount and substantiality of the portion dealt with in relation to whole work the effect on the potential market value of the work
Guidelines for Photocopying of Printed Works by Not-for-profit Educational Establishments Fair Dealing prescribed in HKCO in the 2007 amendment ultimately depends on the interpretation of the courts Guidelines developed by a group of users and copyright owners under the coordination of Intellectual Property Department Updated 2004
Guidelines (Cont.)
