International Copyright Treaty

An International Copyright Treaty is an agreement between countries that ensures copyright laws protect creators' works across borders. It allows artists, writers, and other content creators to have their works recognized and protected in multiple countries without needing to register separately in each one. These treaties establish common standards for copyright duration, rights, and enforcement, making it easier for creators to share and monetize their work internationally. Examples include the Berne Convention and the TRIPS Agreement, which promote respect for intellectual property rights worldwide, fostering creativity, innovation, and fair compensation across nations.
