List of parties to international copyright agreements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Below is a list of countries which have signed and ratified one or more multilateral international copyright treaties. This list covers only multilateral treaties (i.e., treaties by more than two countries). It does not include bilateral treaties (treaties between only two countries). Related rights provide intellectual property rights for performers, producers of sound recordings (phonograms) and broadcasting organisations. In some countries these rights are known simply as copyright, while other countries distinguish them from authors' rights: in either case, the international laws which are concerned with them are distinct from those concerned with literary and artistic works under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and other treaties.

Berne
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, Berne, September 9, 1886, came into force December 5, 1887[1]
UCC Geneva
Universal Copyright Convention, Geneva Act, September 6, 1952, came into force September 16, 1955[2]
UCC Paris
Universal Copyright Convention, Paris Act, July 24, 1971, came into force July 10, 1974[3]
TRIPS
Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, Marrakech, April 15, 1994, came into force January, 1 1995[4] Note: membership in TRIPS coincides with membership in the World Trade Organization; observer governments of the World Trade Organization are marked observer in the table below.
WCT
WIPO Copyright Treaty, Geneva, December 20, 1996, came into force March 6, 2002[5][6]

The list below was taken from details supplied by WIPO, UNESCO and the WTO (see references): they are correct as of 2005-12-11 (2000-01-01 for the Universal Copyright Convention), and include some accessions after that date. Dates quoted are the date on which the treaty came into effect for a given country.
