Overriding effect of information technology law preserves copyright and patent rights despite inconsistent provisions in other laws.
Section 81 gives the Information Technology Act, 2000 overriding effect over inconsistent provisions of other laws in force. This priority is subject to an express safeguard: nothing under that Act restricts a person's exercise of rights conferred by the Copyright Act, 1957, or the Patents Act, 1970. Copyright and patent rights remain exercisable despite the Act's general precedence.
