LAWS OF MARYLAND

[Ch. 49

(B)   ARTIST.

"ARTIST" MEANS ANY PERSON WHO CONCEIVED OR CREATED:

(1)   THE MASTER IMAGE FOR A FINE PRINT; OR

(2)   THE MASTER IMAGE WHICH SERVED AS THE
MODEL FOR A FINE PRINT.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection presently appears as
Art. 83, §178(d).

The present additional phrase, "or conceived
and created," is deleted as redundant.

The only other changes are in style.

(C)   FINE PRINT.

(1)   "FINE PRINT" MEANS A PRINTED IMAGE ON
PAPER OR ANY OTHER SUITABLE SUBSTANCE WHICH HAS BEEN
TAKEN OFF A PLATE BY PRINTING, STAMPING, CASTING, OR ANY
OTHER PROCESS COMMONLY USED IN THE GRAPHIC ARTS.

(2)     "FINE PRINT" INCLUDES AN ENGRAVING,
ETCHING, WOODCUT, LITHOGRAPH, OR SERIGRAPH.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This subsection combines into one
definition, without substantive change, the
present definitions in Art. 83, §178(b) and
(f) of "fine print" and "impression." These
two terms are synonymous in the field of
graphics and, in fact, are interchangeably
used in the present law. (For example,
present §178(e) explains the use of the word
"signed" when used to modify "print"; however,
present §181(b) refers, somewhat confusingly,
to "signed...impressions.") Consequently,
throughout this subtitle, the term "fine
print" or "print" is substituted for
"impression."

In item (1) of this subsection, the term
"taken off" is substituted for "made off" in
order to conform to the present language in
§178(c), now §14—501(e), as well as current
usage in the field of graphics.

In item (2) of this subsection, the phrase
"but not limited to" is deleted as unnecessary
since use of the word "includes" is not
intended in any sense to be exclusionary or
limiting. The maxim of expressio unius est
exclusio alterius and doctrines of similar
