What do Tristan da Cunha and Tunisia have in common? They are the only two countries that come between Trinidad & Tobago and Turkey in the alphabet. And what does Turkey have in common with Trinidad & Tobago? The answer is that both have taken steps to increase their level of commitment to international norms of copyright law. Turkey has acceded to the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT No. 69) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT No. 71), both of which take effect for Turkey on 28 November 2008. By pure coincidence, Trinidad & Tobago likewise has acceded to the WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT No. 70) and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT No. 72) -- with effect from exactly the same date.WIPO Copyright Treaty: full details here

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
