Governing laws
San Marino has been a member of the Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty since 2 September 2020.[1]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 8 of 25 January 1991 - Protection of Copyright as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of San Marino.[2] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3] The law was later amended by Law No. 63 of 24 June 1997 and Law No. 43 of 22 February 2006.[2]
General rules
According to Law no. 8 of 25 January 1991:
- The standard term of protection is for the author's life + 50 years.[8/1991 Art.36]
- A joint work where individual contributions cannot be separated is protected for 50 years after the last author's death.[8/1991 Art.37]
- If the contributions in a joint work are separable, protection for each contribution is based on the life of the author, while the work as a whole is protected for 60 years after first disclosure.[8/1991 Art.37]
- Anonymous or pseudonymous works are protected for 60 years after first disclosure.[8/1991 Art.38]
- Posthumous works are protected for 60 years after first disclosure as long as this occurs within 30 years of the author's death.[8/1991 Art.39]
- For audio-visual works (films, sound), the duration is 50 years after the end of the year of first disclosure, or 50 years after the production date for undisclosed works.[8/1991 Art.40]
- Photographs are protected for 30 years after the date of production.[8/1991 Art.84]
Disclosure is any act that brings the work to the attention of the public, including exhibition or reproduction.[8/1991 Art.44] All terms run to the end of the calendar year in which they expire.
