Member States of the Berne Convention
Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
The Berne Convention passed in 1886 involves the protection of the rights of works and their authors. It provides writers, musicians, poets, painters and other creators with control over how to use their works, what to use, and how to use them. It is based on three basic principles and contains a series of regulations that determine the minimum protections to be granted, as well as special regulations for developing countries that wish to use these minimum protections.
Three basic principles:
1. Works from a Contracting State#
2. Protection shall not be conditional on compliance with any formalities#
3. Protection is not limited to whether there is protection in the country of origin of the work (the principle of "independence" of protection).
#If the protection period stipulated by the contracting party is longer than the minimum limit stipulated in the "Convention", work in the country of origin will no longer be protected. Once the protection of the country of origin ceases, the protection may be deprived.
#The author is the work of the country’s national or the work published for the first time in the country
#The principle of "automatic" protection
