List of parties to international copyright agreements

Add article description

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.

In addition to these treaties, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a multilateral treaty governing multiple aspects of intellectual property, including copyright. As of February 2012, ACTA has been signed by 31 countries, but only ratified by Japan.[10] If ACTA is ratified by six or more signatories, it will enter into force thirty days later.[11]

As of January 2022, Eritrea, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Palau, and WTO Observer countries Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan and Timor-Leste are not a party to any copyright convention.
