Contexto
In 1884, Germany declared a region including present-day Togo as a protectorate called Togoland. After World War I, rule over Togo was transferred to France. Togo gained its independence from France on 27 April 1960.
Togo has been a member of the Berne Convention since 30 April 1975, the Bangui Agreement since 8 February 1982, the World Trade Organization since 31 May 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 21 May 2003.[1]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 91-12 of June 10, 1991 on the Protection of Copyright, Folklore and Related Rights as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Togo.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The law is retroactive: "Any provisions that contradict this Law are hereby repealed".[91-12/1991 Article 119]

Unsure West African CFA franc used in Togo has close ties to France. French Cour de Cassation ruled in 2002 that franc is not covered by Copyright Law[3], but it is not known if it also applies to West African CFA franc.

The right of exploitation of works in the public domain shall be administered by the Copyright Office of Togo (BUTODRA).[91-12/1991 Article 64] The public performance and reproduction of such works shall require authorization by the said body. That authorization shall, in the case of an event held for profit making purposes, be granted against payment of a royalty calculated according to the gross revenue from the exploitation.

The proceeds from that royalty shall be used for cultural and social purposes for the benefit of Togolese authors.[91-12/1991 Article 65]

Folklore shall belong originally to the national cultural heritage. For the purposes of this Law, "folklore" shall mean all literary and artistic productions created in Togo by anonymous, unknown or forgotten authors presumed to be of Togolese nationality or from ethnic Togolese communities, passed from generation to generation and constituting one of the basic elements of the Togolese cultural heritage.[91-12/1991 Article 66] There shall be no time limit on the protection of works of national folklore.[91-12/1991 Article 67] The public performance and reproduction by any means whatsoever of national folklore with a view to exploitation for profit making purposes shall be subject to prior authorization by the Copyright Office of Togo (BUTODRA), against payment of a royalty.[91-12/1991 Article 69]
