HISTORY AND DEVELPOMENT The world's first copyright law was the Statute of Anne, enacted in
England in 1710
Legislation based on the Statute of Anne gradually appeared in
other countries, such as the Copyright Act of 1790 in the United
States, but copyright legislation remained uncoordinated at an
international level until the 19th century.
Prior to the Berne Convention, copyright law would usually only
apply at a national level.
In 1886, the Berne Convention was introduced to provide mutual
recognition of copyright between nation states, and to promote the
development of international standards for copyright protection

Aim of the Berne Convention The aim of the Berne Convention, as indicated in its
preamble, is “to protect, in as effective and uniform a
manner as possible, the rights of authors in their
literary and artistic works.”
![Page 7: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why it’s important Enforcing treaties which protect intellectual property,
such as copyright, are important because they promote creativity, fair trade and the contribution to economic and social development.
![Page 8: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Scope of Copyright Protection Copyright protection extends to expressions and not to
ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such.
Protected Works
Every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression
Derivative works: Translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other alterations of a literary or artistic work

Three Basic Principles 1. Principle of national treatment:- works originating in
one contracting state must be given the same protection in other states.
2. Principle of automatic protection:- such protection must not be conditional upon compliance with any formality.
3. Principle of independence of protection:- such protection is independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work
(Art 5)
![Page 10: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Minimum Standards of Protection Minimum protection standards depend on:

EXAMPLE One of the most famous cases of copyright
infringement is related to the music industry. As peer to peer file sharing increased, there are many websites offering downloads of songs of all genre – new and old.
Ex: mp3zing.vn, yeucahat.com, nhaccuatui.com
These acts are deemed to be copyright infringement case of stealing music and making it available to people worldwide at no cost without the consent of composers and singers and paying royalties
Vietnam should apply convention and treaty related to copyright to fine these acts

Need for development Before the existence of any international convention in the
field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain protection for industrial property rights in the various countries of the world because of the diversity of their laws.
The development of a more internationally oriented flow of technology and the increase of international trade made harmonization of industrial property laws urgent in both the patent and the trademark field
require the protection to help people of one country obtain protection in other countries for their intellectual creations in the form of industrial property rights
![Page 20: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Enforcement scope & level The protection of industrial property has as its object:
patents, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks, service marks, trade names, indications of source or appellations of origin, and the repression of unfair competition.
Industrial property shall be understood in the broadest sense and shall apply not only to industry and commerce proper, but likewise to agricultural and extractive industries and to all manufactured or natural products
( Article 1, Paris Convention)
![Page 21: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

on the basis of a regular first application filed in one of the contracting States,
the applicant may, within a certain period of time (12 months for patents and
utility models; 6 months for industrial designs and marks), apply for protection
in any of the other contracting States; these later applications will then be
regarded as if they had been filed on the same day as the first application.
these later applications, being based on the first application, will not be affected
by any event that may have taken place in the interval.
(Article 4, Paris Convention)
![Page 24: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Related Case (Case No. D2010-0305)
The “electroluxtr.com” case
The Parties
The Complainant is Aktiebolaget Electrolux of Stockholm, Sweden, represented by Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services, Sweden.
The Respondent is Mehmet Kirci of Istanbul, Turkey.
![Page 29: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Factual Background
The Complainant :
Swedish joint stock company founded in 1901 and registered as a Swedish
company in 1919
devoted substantial resources to advertising and promoting its trademark
ELECTROLUX.
has trademark registrations containing its trade name, ELECTROLUX in 150
countries, and registered ELECTROLUX as a Community Trademark (CTM)
the registered owner of close to 700 domain names including the word
ELECTROLUX, including <electrolux.com.tr> registered by Electrolux Turkey
on August 7, 1997
The Respondent : Mehmet Kirci of Istanbul, Turkey. The Respondent
registered the disputed domain name <electroluxtr.com> on April 13, 2009.
![Page 30: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Parties’ Contentions
A. Complainant
The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to
Complainant’s trademark ELECTROLUX and the dominant
part of the disputed domain name is “electrolux,” which is
identical to its registered trademark
The addition of the suffix “tr” does not have any impact on the
overall impression of the dominant part of the disputed domain
name and is therefore not relevant in determining whether it is
confusingly similar to a trademark.
![Page 31: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The web site is almost identical to the Complainant’s official Turkish Electrolux web site displaying its trade logo
The Respondent has no connection with Complainant, and that Complainant has not licensed or otherwise authorised the Respondent to use the trademark.
![Page 32: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
B. Respondent
The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant’s contentions
![Page 33: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Discussion and Findings
In view of the foregoing, the Panel finds that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to a trademark in which the Complainant has rights, and therefore, the Complainant has succeeded on this element under the Policy.
In the absence of a response, the Respondent was unable to demonstrate a legitimate interest or right in the disputed domain name and therefore the Panel accepts the Complainant’s contentions as true.
The Panel finds that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to an on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant’s mark
![Page 34: BERNE, PARIS AND WIPO CONVENTION - · PDF fileNeed for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain](https://reader034.vdocuments.pub/reader034/viewer/2022051722/5a9e40117f8b9a21488dc7dd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
DECISION
For all the foregoing reasons, on May 10, 2010 the Panel orders that the disputed domain name
<electroluxtr.com> be transferred to the Complainant

WIPO TREATIES WCT ( WIPO Copyright Treaty ) : aims to protect authors, composers and other creators of
literature, art, music, films, software and other such creative works, and requires members to recognize works set in a digital form and to implement anti-circumvention measures for those works.
WPPT ( WIPO Performance and Phonogram Treaty ): protects producers of “sound recordings” including music CDs,
cassettes and other recordings, as well as performers, such as singers and musicians. The WPPT can be seen as a specialized version of the WCT with a particular focus on the music recording industry.
