પૂર્વભૂમિકા

The region of the present North Macedonia was under Ottoman rule until the Balkan Wars of 1912 and 1913, when it came under Serbian rule. After World War I (1914–1918), it became part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, which became a republic in 1945 and then a federation of socialist republics. Macedonia declared independence on 8 September 1991 during the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and was renamed North Macedonia in 2019.

North Macedonia has been a member of the Berne Convention since independence by virtue of succession of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and formally confirmed on 23 July 1993 that it was party to the treaty. North Macedonia has belonged to the World Trade Organization since 4 April 2003 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 4 February 2004.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law on Copyright and Related Rights (2010) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of North Macedonia. WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

Grammatical changes were made to the law in October 2010. Several further changes were made between 2011 and 2015, but these were mainly to do with broadcasting and collective rights management and apparently did not affect definitions of protected works or of durations of protection.
