The defendant had a cuttings service, and distributed selected articles amongst its staff. The Agency complained that this amounted to copying a substantial part of the editions from which the cuttings were taken. There was no typographical copyright infringed as the layout had changed, and the work referred to was the entire paper edition, and the question of what was a substantial part of the edition was a matter of impression. The statutory definition of a ‘published edition’ meant that copyright could subsist in the typographical arrangement of the newspaper as a whole.
