Berne Convention

The Berne Convention is an international treaty that aims to protect literary and artistic works, such as books, music, and films. Established in 1886, it ensures that creators have exclusive rights to their work, allowing them to control its use and receive compensation. The convention promotes cooperation between countries, meaning that a work protected in one member country is automatically protected in all others, without needing additional registration. This helps safeguard the rights of artists and encourages creativity across borders.
