GrenadaCopyright Act, 2011, Quotation Exception
Copyright Act, 2011 (Act No. 21 of 2011), s. 10 (Quotation)
In force since .
A snippet reproduction rule binding public and private bodies.
What it requires
- You may reproduce a short part of a published work in the form of a quotation, without the copyright owner's authorisation, provided the reproduction is compatible with fair dealing and does not exceed the extent justified by the purpose (s. 10(1)).
- Accompany the quotation with an indication of its source and the author's name, where the name appears in the work quoted (s. 10(2)).
- The provision has no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this fair-practice test, no reported Grenadian decision applies it to a systematic news aggregator, and the Act's neighbouring rights do not extend to a news publisher's own reporting.
These lines are LexLint's reading of the law's text.

What this law does
Section 10(1) of the Copyright Act, 2011 permits, without the copyright owner's authorisation, the reproduction of a short part of a published work in the form of a quotation, provided the reproduction is compatible with fair dealing and does not exceed the extent justified by the purpose. Section 10(2) requires the quotation to be accompanied by an indication of its source and the author's name, where the name appears in the work quoted.
The provision carries no headline-length or short-extract cap distinct from this fair-practice test, and no reported Grenadian decision applies it to a systematic news aggregator rather than an individual quoting a published work. Neighbouring rights under the Act, covering performers, producers of sound recordings and broadcasting organisations, do not extend to a print or online news publisher's own reporting.
The Act came into force on under the Copyright Act (Commencement) Order, 2012, made under section 61 of the Act.
