The Berne Convention establishes, amongst other things, the rule of “national treatment,” meaning that in every country, foreign authors enjoy the same right as national authors. The Convention is currently in force in 162 countries. A list of contracting parties and the full text of the Convention are available at www. wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/berne/index.html. International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (The Rome Convention) (1961) The Rome Convention extends protection to neighboring rights: performing artists enjoy rights over their performances, producers of phonograms over their sound recordings and radio and television organizations over their broadcast programs. The Convention’s membership is currently signed by 83 countries. For a list of contracting parties and full text of the Convention, see www.wipo.int/treaties/ en/ip/rome/index.html. Agreement on Trade Neighbouring Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (The TRIPS Agreement) (1994) 60 Aiming at harmonizing international trade hand in hand with effective and adequate protection of IP rights, the TRIPS Agreement was drafted to ensure the provision of proper standards and principles concerning the availability, scope and use of trade-neighbouring IP rights. At the same time, the Agreement provides means for the enforcement of such rights. The TRIPS Agreement is binding on all 149 members of the World Trade Organization. The text can be read at the website of the World Trade Organization: www.wto.org/english/ docs_e/legal_e/27-trips.doc. WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) (1996) The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) and WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT) were concluded in 1996 in order to adapt the protection of the rights of authors, performers and phonogram producers to the challenges posed by the advent of the digital world. The WCT supplements the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, adapting its provisions to the new requirements of the Information Society. This means firstly that all regulations in the Berne Convention are applicable mutatis mutandis to the digital environment. It also means that all WCT Contracting Parties must meet the substantive provisions of the Berne Convention, irrespective of whether they are parties to the Berne Convention itself. The WCT extends authors’ rights in respect of their works by granting them three exclusive rights, i.e., the right to: - authorize or prohibit the distribution to the public of original works or 61 copies thereof by sale or otherwise (right of distribution); - authorize or prohibit the commercial rental of computer programs, cinematographic works (if such commercial rental has led to widespread copying of such works, materially impairing the exclusive right of reproduction) or works embodied in phonograms (right of rental); and - authorize or prohibit communication to the public of their original works or copies thereof, by wire or wireless means, including the making available to the public of their works in such a way that members of the public may access these works from a place and at a time individually chosen by them (right of communication to the public). The WCT entered into force on March 6, 2002, and currently some 59 states are members of the WCT (see: www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/wct/index.html). In contrast to the WCT, the WPPT deals with holders of neighbouring rights, its purpose being the international harmonization of protection for performers and phonogram producers in the information society. However, it does not apply to audiovisual performances. The WPPT mainly protects the economic interests and personality rights of performers (actors, singers, musicians, etc.) in respect of their performances, whether or not they are recorded on phonograms. It also helps persons who, or legal entities which, take the initiative and have the responsibility for the fixation of the sounds. WPPT grants rights holders the exclusive right to: - authorize or prohibit direct or indirect reproduction of a phonogram (right of reproduction); - authorize or prohibit the making available to the public of the original 62 or copies of a phonogram by sale or other transfer of ownership (right of distribution); - authorize or prohibit the commercial rental to the public of the original or copies of a phonogram (right of rental); and - authorize or prohibit the making available to the public, by wire or wireless means, of any performance fixed on a phonogram in such a way that members of the public may access the fixed performance from a place and at a time individually chosen by them, e.g. on demand services (right of making available). With regard to live performances, i.e., those not fixed on a phonogram, the WPPT also grants performers the exclusive right to authorize: – broadcasting to the public; – communication to the public; and – fixation (of sound only). The WPPT came into force on May 20, 2002; 58 states are currently member of the WPPT (see www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/wppt/index.html). 63 ANNEX IV
