This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Abkhazia relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Abkhazia must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Abkhazia and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Abkhazia, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

Abkhazia was absorbed by the Russian Empire during the 19th century. In 1931 Joseph Stalin made Abkhazia an autonomous republic (Abkhaz Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic) within the Georgian SSR. In April 1991 Georgia became fully independent of the Soviet Union. In 1992–93 Abkhazia gained de-facto independence under the protection of Russia. The breakaway region has not gained international recognition.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, did not include Abkhazia among the WIPO/WTO/UN Members. Abkhazia is not mentioned in Circular 38A on International Copyright Relations of the United States. Presumably Abkhazian works would be protected in the United States under the terms that apply to Georgia.

Copyright rules in Abkazia are defined by the Law 1227-с-XIV of the Republic of Abkhazia on Copyright and Related Rights (2006). The law, which took effect as of 1 July 2006, replaced Section IV "Copyright" of the Civil Code of the Republic of Abkhazia of 10 March 1993 and Section IV "Copyright" of the Fundamental Principles of Civil Legislation of the USSR and the Republic of 15 June 2001.

^{[2006 Art. 54]}

Libertad de panorama

   {{NoFoP-Saudi Arabia}}

• The Copyright Law detailed in the Royal Decree No. M/41, 2 Rajab, 1424 (30.08.2003) and the Implementing Regulations contain no mention of freedom of panorama permitting commercial uses of photographs of architecture and public art still under their designers' copyrights.

• Even taking pictures of sites not covered by copyrights may be challenged, and photographers operating in Saudi Arabia have found it useful to carry a copy of a decree allowing taking pictures from public places. For purposes of Wikimedia Commons, such restrictions are non-copyright restrictions and image files that may show restricted sites can be kept, unless these show a recent work by architects or sculptors who are not yet dead for more than 50 years.

Note: "Copyright protection expires 50 years after the death of the original author (who may be the architect, sculptor, or muralist) of a public artistic work of Saudi Arabia. On January 1st of the following year (ie. January 1 of the 51st Year), freely-licensed images of the author's sculptures, buildings, murals, or monuments are now free and can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The lack of Freedom of Panorama is no longer relevant here for sovereign states with no formal FOP legal rights since the author's works are now copyright free."

Contexto

By the 19th century Armenia was divided between the Russian and Ottoman empires. The first Republic of Armenia was formed in 1918, and in 1920 became part of the Transcaucasian state, which in 1922 joined the Soviet Union. In 1936 Armenia became a separate republic within the USSR. Armenia regained independence in 1991 when the Soviet Union was dissolved.

Armenia has been a member of the Berne Convention since 19 October 2000, the World Trade Organization since 5 February 2003 and the WIPO treaty since 6 March 2005.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law of the Republic of Armenia of June 15, 2006, on Copyright and Related Rights (as amended on September 30, 2013) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Armenia. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. Wikisource holds the original text as of 2006. The Armenian government provides slightly more recent Armenian and Russian versions.

The 2006 law repealed the Law of the Republic of Armenia of December 8, 1999, on Copyright and Neighboring Rights. WIPO also holds the text of this law.

General rules

According to the Copyright law of 1999, the duration of copyright was 50 years after the death of the author and 50 years after publication for anonymous work.^{[1999 Article 26]}

Under the 2006 Law on Copyright and Related Rights (as amended on September 30, 2013) durations were prolonged to 70 years after death or publication.^{[2013 Article 37]} The new law restored copyright to works whose protection had expired under the previous law but which qualified for protection under the new law.^{[2013 Article 72]} Under the 2013 version of the law,

• The property rights of the author are valid throughout the life of the author and continue to operate 70 years after his death.^{[2013 Article 37.1]}
• Property rights to a work created in co-authorship are valid throughout the life of the co-authors and continue to operate 70 years after the death of the last of the co-authors.^{[2013 Article 37.2]}
• In the case of works under a pseudonym or anonymous works, the author’s property rights arise from the moment when the work becomes lawfully accessible to the public and is in effect for 70 years.^{[2013 Article 37.3]}

• The term of validity of property rights to a collective work arise from the moment when the work becomes lawfully accessible to the public and is in effect for 70 years.^{[2013 Article 37.4]}

The version of the copyright law provided by WIPO states, "It is allowed to reproduce, broadcast for non-commercial purposes an architectural, photographic or fine art work located in places open to the public without the consent of the author and the payment of author's remuneration".^{[2013 Article 25(d)]} However, an amendment effective late April 2013 removed the restriction on commercial use, and says, "Works which are located on streets, parks, squares and other places open for attendance can be reproduced and broadcasted, and reproduced copies can be distributed, including through internet, without permission of the author and without payment to the author, in any tangible medium and by any means and in any form".^{[2013 Article 25(d) amended]}.

Contexto

Bahrain, an island in the Persian Gulf, became a British protectorate in 1892. On 15 August 1971 the country became independent.

Bahrain has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995, the Berne Convention since 2 March 1997 and the WIPO treaty since 15 December 2005.

As of 2018, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 22 of 2006 relating to the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring Rights as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Bahrain. WIPO holds an English version of the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. This repealed Legislative Decree No. 10 of June 7, 1993 in respect of Copyright Law.

The law was modified by Law No. 5 of 2014 amending some Provisions of Law No. 22 of 2006 relating to the Protection of Copyright and Neighboring Rights. WIPO holds the Arabic text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. It does not appear to affect the definitions of works or durations of protection.

General rules

According to the former Legislative Decree No. 10 of June 7, 1993 in respect of Copyright Law,

Contexto

Qatar is a state on the northeast coast of the Arabian peninsula. It submitted to Ottoman rule in 1871. During World War I, Qatar became a British protectorate in 1916 as a member of the Trucial States. In 1971 Qatar became independent of Britain.

Qatar has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 13 January 1996, the Berne Convention since 5 July 2000 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 28 October 2005.

WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. It appears to be retroactive: Law No. 25 of 1995 is hereby repealed as well as any provisions inconsistent with the provisions of this Law.^{[7/2002 Article 57]}

Contexto

Cyprus was transferred from the Ottoman Empire to British administration in 1878, and was annexed by Britain in 1914. The island gained independence in 1960. Northern Cyprus became autonomous in 1974 with the support of Turkey, and in 1983 declared independence, but has not gained international recognition.

Cyprus came under the Berne Convention through the United Kingdom as of 1 October 1931. The Republic of Cyprus declared continued application of the Berne Convention on 24 February 1964, effective from independence on 16 August 1960. Cyprus joined the World Trade Organization as of 30 July 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 4 November 2003.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Copyright Laws 1976 to 1993 (Law No. 59 of December 3, 1976, as amended by Law No. 18(I), 1993) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Cyprus. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

This law was modified in 1999, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2007. As of 2018 the University of Cyprus Library cited Law no. 59/76 regarding Intellectual Property Rights (as modified by Laws N.63/77, N.18(I)/93, N.54(I)/99, N.12(I)/2001), N.128(I)/2002 and N.128(I)/2004) as the source of rules on Intellectual Property Rights.

General rules

• Scientific, literary, music and artistic works: rights expire 70 years after the creator’s death.
• Motion pictures: rights expire 70 years after the death of the last survivor of: producer, main director, scriptwriter, dialogues writer and composer of music composed specifically for use in the motion picture.

Note that any work originating in the United Arab Emirates must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both the United Arab Emirates and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from the United Arab Emirates, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

The emirates that now make up the UAR became a British protectorate in 1819 as the Trucial States. The United Arab Emirates became independent on 2 December 1971.

The UAR has been a member of the the World Trade Organization since 10 April 1996 and the Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty since 14 July 2004.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Federal Law No. 7 of 2002 Concerning Copyrights and Neighboring Rights as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of the United Arab Emirates. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. The Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization holds a copy of Federal Law No.(32) of the year 2006 Amending the Federal Law No.(7) of the year 2002 concerning copyrights and neighboring rights.

The 2002 law replaced Federal Law No. 40 of 1992 on the Protection of Intellectual Works and Copyright. WIPO also holds a copy of the earlier 1992 law. Under the 2002 law,

• The Federal Law No. 40 of the year 1992 and any other provision contrary to the provisions of this law, are hereby cancelled.^{[7/2002 Article 48]}
• The applied regulations and decisions shall be valid as long as they do not contradict with the provisions of this law until the new regulations and the implementing decisions are issued, and entered into force.^{[7/2002 Article 49]}

General rules

Under the former Federal Law No. 40 of 1992,

• Copyright was valid during the author's lifetime and for 25 calendar years after his death.^{[7/2002 Article 20]}
• Copyright was valid for 25 calendar years from date of publication for the following works^{[7/2002 Article 20]}:
  • Cinema films and works of the applied arts.
  • Works made by legal persons.
  • Works published under a pen name, or without mentioning the author's name.
  • Works published for the first time after the death of their author.

• The period of copyright for photographic works was 10 calendar years from the date of publication.^{[7/2002 Article 20]}
• The period of copyright for works of joint authors was counted from the death date of the last surviving author.^{[7/2002 Article 20]}

Under Federal law No. 7 of 2002, which is retroactive, as amended in 2006:

• The economic rights of the author are protected through his lifetime and for 50 years beginning from the first day of the calendar year following the death.^{[7/2002 Article 20.1]}
• The economic rights of the joint authors shall be protected through their lifetime and fifty years beginning from the first day of the calendar year following the death of the last surviving author.^{[7/2002 Article 20.2]}
• Collective works except applied arts are protected for 50 years beginning from the first day of the next calendar year of the first publication if the author is a legal person, but if the author is a natural person, the period will be calculated according to the rule stipulated in (1) and (2) of this article.^{[7/2002 Article 20.3]}

• The economic rights of works published for the first time after the death of their author expire after 50 years starting the first day of the next calendar year of its first publications.^{[7/2002 Article 20.3]}
• The economic rights of the works published anonymously or pseudonymously shall be protected for 50 years from the first day of the next calendar year of the first publication, unless the author becomes known in this period.^{[7/2002 Article 20.4]}

In order to be hosted on Commons, public domain works must be out-of-copyright in both the United States and their source country. Emirati photographs are currently in the public domain in the United States if their protection period had expired in the United Arab Emirates prior to the URAA date of restoration (10 April 1996).

Not protected

Under Federal Law No. 7 of 2002 protection does not extend to:

• Mere ideas, procedures, methods of work, mathematical understandings, principles, and abstract facts, but extends to creative expression in any of them.^{[7/2002 Article 3]}

• Official documents, whatever their original language or the language they are translated to, such as the texts of laws, regulations, decisions, international agreements, judgments, arbitrators’ awards and the decisions of the administrative committees having judicial competence.^{[7/2002 Article 3(1)]}
• News, events and current facts, which constitute merely media news.^{[7/2002 Article 3(2)]}

Note: Please tag Emirati no-FoP deletion requests: <noinclude>[[Category:United Arab Emirates FOP cases/pending]]</noinclude>

There is no usable FoP provision in the copyright law of the UAE (Federal Law #1 of 1972, Federal Law #15 of 1980, Federal Law #40 of 1992, and Federal Law (32) 2006). UAE copyright law as of 2006 discusses an FoP like provision, but it is restricted to "broadcasts".

• The author must not prohibit a third person from performing one of the following acts ... Presenting fine arts, applied and plastic arts or architectural works in broadcasting programmes, if such works are permanently present in public places.^{[7/2002 Article 22.7]}

See Commons talk:Freedom of panorama/Archive 6#Update: UAE FoP situation under dispute for a discussion on FoP in the UAE.

Note: "Copyright protection expires 50 years after the death of the original author (who may be the architect, sculptor, or muralist) of a public artistic work of the United Arab Emirates. On January 1st of the following year (ie. January 1 of the 51st Year), freely-licensed images of the author's sculptures, buildings, murals, or monuments are now free and can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The lack of Freedom of Panorama is no longer relevant here for sovereign states with no formal FOP legal rights since the author's works are now copyright free."

Sellos

The 2002 UAE law states that such works as stamps are protected for 50 years starting from 1 January of the publication year. Yet the 1992 law gave a 25 years copyright protection (starting from the publication date). This means that all UAE postage stamps printed before 1977 are in public domain. Stamps issued after that year should wait 50 years.

One may tag Template:PD-United Arab Emirates stamp to any such image.

Contexto

Georgia was absorbed by the Russian Empire during the 19th century. After the Russian Revolution Georgia was briefly independent, then was part of the Transcaucasian Federation, a member of the Soviet Union. In 1936 Georgia became a republic of the Soviet Union. In April 1991 Georgia became fully independent of the Soviet Union. In 1992-93 Abkhasia, in the west, gained de-facto independence under the protection of Russia. In 2008 South Ossetia also gained de-facto independence under the protection of Russia. The breakaway regions have not gained international recognition.

Georgia has been a member of the Berne Convention since 16 May 1995, the World Trade Organization since 14 June 2000 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 6 March 2002.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law of Georgia No. 2112-IIS of June 22, 1999, on Copyright and Neighboring Rights (as amended up to Law No. 1917 of December 23, 2017) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Georgia. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. Works whose protection had expired when the 1999 law came into force did not gain renewed protection, but works that were still protected would continue to be protected under the terms of the new law.^{[2112-IIS/2017 Article 67]}

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of the Ottoman Empire relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in the Ottoman Empire must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both the country of origin and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from the Ottoman Empire, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

The Ottoman Empire, based in Turkey, once covered large parts of the Balkans, Greece, the Middle East and North Africa. It slowly declined during the 19th century, sided with Germany during World War I and was defeated.

The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire began with the Treaty of London (1915) and continued with multiple agreements among the Allies. The partitioning of the Ottoman Empire was discussed during the Paris Peace Conference, 1919. The peace agreement, the Treaty of Sèvres, was eventually signed by the Ottoman Empire (not ratified) and the Allied administration.

States that were in part or whole within the Ottoman Empire in 1913 were Turkey, Armenia (soon part of the USSR), Iraq (British mandate), Syria and the Lebanon (French mandate), Palestine (British mandate), Jordan (British mandate), Hejaz (later part of Saudi Arabia) and Yemen.

General rules

The Ottoman Empire was dissolved in 1923, therefore all works published there are currently in the public domain in the United States. The Ottoman Empire refused to recognize international copyright, so works published there are not protected by copyright internationally.

Ottoman official documents are also not protected since the divans (which comprised a large variety of legal documents) were in the public domain in the Empire.

The empire's copyright code also explicitly stated that legislation could not be copyrighted.

The Empire required that copyright formalities be met (copyright notice, registration, and deposit). The copyright term was 30 years after the death of the author, sometimes less.

Note that works in copyright when the Empire was dissolved may be subject to the copyright laws of successor countries. A precise date of publication must be provided, especially if the image was published circa 1920. Photographs claiming PD status on the basis of Ottoman origin must have been published in the Ottoman Empire, not merely taken there.

If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Israel, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

Palestine was part of the Ottoman empire until World War I, when it was taken over by the British. In 1922 the British obtained a mandate over Palestine. The state of Israel was declared in 1948, taking over most of the former British mandate.

Israel has been a member of the Berne Convention since 24 March 1950 and the World Trade Organization since 21 April 1995.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright Act, 2007 (as amended on July 28, 2011) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Israel. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. It entered into force on 25 May 2008.

Ownership of copyright

According to Israel's copyright statute of 2007,

• In general, the author of a work is the first owner of copyright.^{[2007-2011 Sec.33(1)]}
• With a sound recording, the producer is the first owner of copyright.^{[2007-2011 Sec.33(2)]}
• The employer is the first owner of copyright in a work made by an employee in the course of his service and during the period of his service, unless otherwise agreed.^{[2007-2011 Sec.34]}

• In a work made pursuant to a commission, the first owner of the copyright therein, wholly or partially, is the author, unless otherwise agreed as between the commissioning party and the author, expressly or impliedly.^{[2007-2011 Sec.35(a)]}
• In a work which is a portrait or a photograph of a family event or other private event, made pursuant to a commission, the first owner of the copyright is the commissioning party.^{[2007-2011 Sec.35(b)]}

• The state is the first owner of a work made by, or commissioned for, the State or by an employee of the State in consequence of his service and during the period of his service; In this section, "State employee" – includes soldiers, policemen and any other person who holds a position according to a statute in a State entity or institution.^{[2007-2011 Sec.36]}

Durations

According to Israel's copyright statute of 2007,

• Copyright in a work subsists during the life of its author and for 70 years after his death, subject to the provisions below.^{[2007-2011 Sec.38]}
• Copyright in a joint work subsists during the life of its longest surviving joint author and for 70 years after his death.^{[2007-2011 Sec.39]}
• Copyright in an anonymous or pseudonymous work lasts for 70 years from the date it was first published, or if not published within 70 years for 70 years from the date it was created, as long as the identity of the author does not become known in this period.^{[2007-2011 Sec.40]}

• Copyright in a sound recording subsists for 50 years from the date of its making.^{[2007-2011 Sec.41]}
• Copyright in a work in which the State is the first owner of the copyright lasts for 50 years from the date of its making.^{[2007-2011 Sec.42]} Images distributed by the Israeli Government Press Office are copyrighted.
• The period of copyright in a work shall end on the 31st of December of the year in which such copyright is set to expire.^{[2007-2011 Sec.43]}

In general, works made before the act came into effect that were not protected by copyright under the prior law would remain unprotected, except for works first published in Israel or made by a citizen or resident of Israel.^{[2007-2011 Sec.78(b)]} For photographs made before the act came into effect the former law applies.^{[2007-2011 Sec.78(i)]} That is, protection lasts until 1 January of the 51st year after the creation of the photograph.

Not protected

 . Israeli currency is copyrighted. According to a statement from the Bank of Israel, reproductions may appear in a catalog, book, research paper, etc. provided that they do not modify the colors or designs, although a black and white reproduction is allowed. They must be at least 30% larger or smaller than the original, and for commercial use must not include both sides of the note or coin. Finally, the reproductions must credit the Bank of Israel.

The complete Law of the Bank of Israel does not specify these conditions. Instead the above "Instructions" paper has detailed them. The effective date of the conditions are not stated.

Please use {{Money-IL}} for images of Israeli currency.

De minimis

According to 2007 Copyright Act, section 22:

• An incidental use of a work by way of including it in a photographic work, in a cinematographic work or in a sound recording, as well as the use of a such work in which the work was thus incidentally contained, is permitted; In this matter the deliberate inclusion of a musical work, including its accompanying lyrics, or of a sound recording embodying such musical work, in another work, shall not be deemed to be an incidental use.^{[2007-2011 Sec.22]}

Section 23 of the 2007 Copyright Act states that "Broadcasting, or copying by way of photography, drawing, sketch or similar visual description, of an architectural work, a work of sculpture or work of applied art, are permitted where the aforesaid work is permanently situated in a public place."

According to Dr Sarah Presenti, an Israeli copyright lawyer, the scope of the term "work of applied art" in Israel is broader than the equivalent term in Commonwealth jurisdictions. Presenti suggests that "it includes art work (like adverts, advertising, maps etc.) which transfers useful information" and that "it does not matter if it is 2D or 3D as long as it is a work of art that is meant to deliver useful information. Therefore, an artistic work created for artistic purpose is by no means applied art (e.g. painting)."

Sellos

Paragraph 51 of Israeli Postal Services Statute 1986, in its 2004 revised version stipulates that the State owns full copyrights for Israeli stamps. The Israeli copyright statute from 2007 determines that the State's copyrights expire on 1 January of the 51st year after the creation of the work. Hence, only stamps created 50 or more years ago are in the public domain. Template:PD-IsraelGov would be appropriate to indicate their copyright status.

Umbral de originalidad

Although Israel historically used a "skill and labour" test similar to that used by the UK, since the 1989 Israeli Supreme Court's ruling in Interlego A/S v. Exin-Lines Bros. SA they have tended fairly close to a US-style requirement equating originality with human creativity. In Israel, the Supreme Court in the Interlego A/S v. Exin-Lines Bros. SA decision adopted the Feist ruling with regards to both the interpretation of the originality requirement and the general rejection of the ‘sweat of the brow’ doctrine and the labour theory as a legitimate interest for establishing a copyright claim.

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Jordan relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Jordan must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Jordan and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Jordan, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

Transjordan was under Ottoman rule until World War I, then became a state under the British mandate for Palestine in 1922. On 25 May 1946 Transjordan became an independent state, renamed Jordan on 26 April 1949.

Jordan has been a member of the Berne Convention since 28 July 1999, the World Trade Organization since 11 April 2000 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 27 April 2004.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 22 of 1992 on Copyright and its Amendments up to 2005 as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Jordan. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. These laws were further amended by Law No. 23 of 2014.

Applicability

Jordan's copyright law covers original works of literature, art, and science, including works of art expressed in writing, sound, drawing, photography, motion pictures, books, speeches, plays, musical compositions, films, applied art, three-dimensional works, and computer software.^{[22/2005 Article 3]}

General rules

Under the Copyright Protection Law 22 of 1992, as amended up to 2005,

• An author's work is protected for 50 years after their year of death, with protection expiring on 1 January the next year.^{[22/2005 Article 30]}
• Protection for 50 years after the year of publication, expiring on 1 January the next year, applies to cinematic and TV works, any works whose author is a corporate person, work first published after the death of the author and anonymous or pseudonymous works for which the author does not reveal their identity during the protection period.^{[22/2005 Article 31]}

• Applied arts applications are protected for 25 years after completion, with protection expiring on 1 January the next year.^{[22/2005 Article 32]} The meaning of the term "applied arts" is not spelled out, but is distinct from painting, photography, sculpting, architecture and lithographical works.^{[22/2005 Article 3]}
• When a work is created by several people and their individual contributions cannot be separated they are all considered owners unless agreed otherwise.^{[22/2005 Article 35.a]}
• A collective work is defined as one where a group participated in its creation under the direction of a natural or corporate person who set the general goal of the work and published it under his name, and the work of each of the participants cannot be separated and distinguished apart. The person who directed creation is considered to be author and has exclusive copyright.^{[22/2005 Article 35.c]}

Photographs

• A photograph may not be published without consent of the person it represents unless it was taken at a public event or concerns a person of public fame.^{[22/2005 Article 26]}
• In the past, photographs and applied arts were only protected for 25 years.

• Article 32 of Copyright Law No. 22 of 1992 was amended by Law No. 29 of 1999 to provide for a 25-year term of protection for photographs starting January 1st of year of completion (and not starting from the next calendar year as is the case in many countries). The term of protection for a photograph completed in December 1974 was thus calculated starting from 1 January 1974, and expired on 1 January 1999.

• Although this provision was later repealed by Law No. 78 of 2003, the repeal did not renew the copyright of photographs which had already fallen into the public domain, because Article 7 of the 1992 law explicitly disallows such retroactive protection of out-of-copyright works. Therefore a Jordanian photograph or work of applied Art that was created on or before 31 December 1974 is in the public domain in Jordan.

• In order to be hosted on Commons, all works must be in the public domain in the United States as well as in their source country. The copyright of all pre-1975 Jordanian photographs had expired in Jordan on the U.S. date of restoration (July 28, 1999). Such photographs are thus currently in the public domain in the United States.

Not protected

Under the Copyright Protection Law 22 of 1992, as amended up to 2005, there is no copyright protection for laws, regulations, judicial decisions, administrative committee decisions, international agreements and other official documents and translations of these works; news published, broadcast or delivered publicly; and works that have become public property. National folklore is considered public property.^{[22/2005 Article 7]}

Articles "(17): Use of Published Works" and "(20): Copy of Work without Author’s Consent" of The Copyright Law, No. (22) of 1992 of Jordan do not explicitly mention works of architecture, but they are defined in Article (3) as "Works Enjoying Copyright Protection." Protection also includes the title of the work, unless it's generic and is used to describe the subject of the work.

Contexto

The Sheikhdom of Kuwait became a British protectorate in 1899 and regained independence in June 1961.

Kuwait has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the Berne Convention since 2 December 2014.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 64 of 1999 concerning Intellectual Property Rights including Explanatory Memorandum as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Kuwait. WIPO holds the text of the 1999 law in their WIPO Lex database.

This was replaced by Law No. 75 of 2019 on Copyright and Related Rights. WIPO holds the Arabic text of the 2019 law in their WIPO Lex database.

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Lebanon relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Lebanon must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Lebanon and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Lebanon, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

For many years Lebanon was part of the Ottoman Empire. After World War I the country came under French control, formalized on 29 September 1923 under the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon. Lebanon declared independence on 8 November 1943, and the last French troops withdrew in December 1946.

Lebanon has been a member of the Berne Convention since 30 September 1947 and the Universal Copyright Convention since 17 October 1959.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 75 of 1999 on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Lebanon. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

General rules

Under Law No. 75 of 1999 on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property,

• The term of protection granted under this Law to the economic rights of the author, shall be the life of the author and 50 years after his death, to be computed from the end of the year in which the death has occurred.^{[75/1999 Article 49]}
• In the case of a work of joint authorship, the term of protection shall be the life of the joint authors and 50 years after the death of the last joint author, to be computed from the end of the year in which the death has occurred. Should one of the authors die without leaving heirs, his share shall pass to the co-authors or to their heirs, unless stated otherwise.^{[75/1999 Article 50]}

• In the case of collective and audiovisual works, the term of protection shall be 50 years to be computed from the end of the year in which the work has been made available to the public or, failing such event, 50 years from the making of such work, to be computed from the end of the year in which the work has been completed.^{[75/1999 Article 51]}
• In the case of anonymous or pseudonymous works, the term of protection shall expire 50 years after the work has been lawfully made available to the public.^{[75/1999 Article 52]}

• In the case of posthumous works or works published in the name of a legal person, the term of protection shall be 50 years to be computed from the end of the year in which the work was published.^{[75/1999 Article 52]}
• All economic related rights of performers shall enjoy protection for a period of 50 years to be computed from the end of the year in which the performance has been carried out.^{[75/1999 Article 54]}
• The term of protection granted to producers of sound recordings shall be 50 years, to be computed from the end of the year in which the first fixation of sound on tangible material has taken place.^{[75/1999 Article 55]}

• The term of protection granted to broadcasting organizations shall be 50 years, to be computed from the end of the year in which the broadcasting of their programs has taken place.^{[75/1999 Article 56]}

The previous copyright law of Lebanon, Law No. 2385 of January 17, 1924, had the same rules, with one notable exception: photographs were copyrighted until 50 years after their initial publication (article 153).

Not protected

The following shall be excluded from the protection provided by this Law: laws, legislative decrees, decrees and decisions issued by all public authorities and official translations thereof; judicial decisions of all kinds and official translations thereof; speeches delivered in public assemblies and meetings. The authors of speeches and presentations shall enjoy the sole right of collecting and publishing such lectures and presentations; ideas, data and abstract scientific facts; artistic folkloric works of all kinds. However, works inspired by folklore shall enjoy protection.^{[75/1999 Article 4]}

Marcas de derechos de autor

• {{PD-Lebanon}} – photos and two dimensional artistic works 50 years after publication, starting from the end of the publication year after which attribution is still required forever.
• {{PD-Lebanon-Photo}}. Use this tag only for photos first published before 1949.

Libertad de panorama

  , for use by media only. {{NoFoP-Lebanon}}

Law No. 75 of 1999 on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property says:

• The media shall be permitted, without the authorization of the author and without obligation to pay him compensation, to publish pictures of architectural works, visual artistic works, photographic works or works of applied art, provided that such works are available in places open to the public.^{[75/1999 Article 31]}

This limits freedom of panorama to the media, and so excludes other commercial use.

Note that "media" here refers to those engaged in news and information only, making Lebanese freedom of panorama insufficient for Wikimedia Commons. The French translation uses a more restrictive term that translates to English as "information agencies". See Commons talk:Freedom of panorama/Archive 1#Lebanon for a discussion on this.

The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus is a de facto state that comprises the northern portion of the island of Cyprus.

Northern Cyprus became autonomous in 1974 with the support of Turkey, and in 1983 declared independence, but has not gained international recognition. Northern Cyprus is considered by the international community to be part of the Republic of Cyprus. Presumably for Wikimedia Commons purposes the copyright laws of Cyprus may be considered to apply.

Background

Northern Cyprus has Chapter 264 copyright law, consisting of only 4 articles. It refers to the 1911 Copyright Law of the United Kingdom for any missing parts of the law. Therefore, the 1911 Copyright Law is applied in Northern Cyprus.

Freedom of panorama

 : 1911 U.K. copyright law still applies in Northern Cyprus (source) which allows Freedom of Panorama.

Under Law No. 5846 of December 5, 1951 (as amended up to decision no 2020/29 of Constitutional Court of Turkey on July 17, 2020),

• The rights in works created by civil servants, employees and workers during the execution of their duties shall be exercised by the persons who employ or appoint them; provided that the contrary may not be deduced from a special contract between such persons or from the nature of the work.^{[5846/1951 Article 18]}

• If the first author is a legal person, the term of protection shall be 70 years from the date on which the work was made public.^{[5846/1951 Article 27]}

This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Yemen relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Yemen must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Yemen and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Yemen, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

Yemen was divided between the Ottoman and British empires in the early 20th century. North Yemen became a kingdom after World War I, then a republic in 1962. South Yemen was a British protectorate known as the Aden Protectorate until 1967 when it became independent. The two Yemeni states united to form the modern republic of Yemen in 1990.

Yemen has been a member of the Berne Convention since 14 July 2008 and the World Trade Organization since 26 June 2014.

As of 2021 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, lists Law No. 15 of 2012 on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights as the main copyright law of Yemen. WIPO holds both the Arabic and unofficial English texts of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

The law repeals the Intellectual Property Law (Presidential Law Decree No. 19 of 1994 in respect of Intellectual Property).

Standard rules

Under the Law No. 15 of 2012 on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights,

• The author’s financial rights shall be protected throughout his/her life and for fifty-years following his/her death.^{[15/2012 Article 31]}
• The financial rights of a joint work shall be protected throughout the lives of all co-authors of the work and fifty-years thereafter starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the death of the last existing author of the work.^{[15/2012 Article 32]}
• The duration for protecting financial rights of a collective work and audiovisual work shall be fifty years starting from the year following the first publication of the work. If the work is not published within fifty years from the date of achievement, the protection duration shall end after fifty years from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the achievement of the work.^{[15/2012 Article 33]}
• The duration for protecting financial rights of a work which is published without mentioning the author's name or was published under a pseudonym shall last for fifty years starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the first publication of the work. If the author reveals his identity, the duration of protection shall be in accordance with the provisions of article (31) of the Law.^{[15/2012 Article 34]}

• The financial rights of applied arts and photography shall be protected for twenty five years starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the achievement of the work.^{[15/2012 Article 35]}

The repealed law, Intellectual Property Law (Presidential Decree No. 19 of 1994 on Intellectual Property), only granted a posthumous copyright term of 30 years for most works,^{[19/1994 Article 24]} a copyright term of 25 years from the date of publication for works made by movie or T.V. film producers,^{[19/1994 Article 25]} and a copyright term of 10 years from the date of issuance for photographs.^{[19/1994 Article 31]} However, the current law appears retroactive:

• The provisions related to copyright provided in Republican Decree by Law No. (19) of 1994 on Intellectual Property Rights shall be cancelled as well as any text or provision in conflict with this law.^{[15/2012 Article 88]}

Not protected

Yemeni works not protected:^{[15/2012 Article 5]}

• The news about incidents or events which are merely media descriptive material.
• Works that have fallen into the public domain.
