The Copyright (Cayman Islands) Order 2015 extends Part 1 of the United Kingdom's Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 to the Cayman Islands, subject to exclusions naming sections 44A, 73A, 98, 114B, 144, 144A, 157, 158, 166A to 166D, 172A and 177, paragraphs 13, 21, 34, 36 and 37 of Schedule 1, and Schedule A1, and to the modifications in Part 2 of the Order's Schedule.
Section 3 is not among the excluded or modified provisions, so it extends as in the United Kingdom Act: a database is a protected category of literary work in its own right, alongside a table or compilation other than a database, both eligible for copyright as literary works. The Order does not extend the separate United Kingdom regulations creating a sui generis database right, and no evidence of a separate extension of that right to the Cayman Islands was found.
