Part 4
Duration of Protection
Article 15
The financial rights to any piece of artistic work shall be protected during the life of the Author and for fifty calendar years after his or her death. Protection
for original, artistic or literary work shall ensure for the following periods:
1.
With regard to a work of joint authorship, the rights shall be protected for fifty calendar years from the date of the death of the last surviving co-author;
2.
With regard to audio-visual or collective work, the rights shall be protected for fifty years as from the date on which the work was first published. For
works that are not published, the term of protection shall run from the first day of the calendar year after the completion date of the work;
3.
With regard to a work published under a pseudonym or published anonymously, the rights shall be protected for fifty calendar years from and
including the date on which the work was first published. Nevertheless, where the pseudonym used by the author leaves no doubt as to the author's
identity, the term of protection shall be calculated as from the date of the author's death. This provision applies where the author reveals his identity
before the expiration of the protection period.
Article 16
In the event that protection runs from the date on which the work was first published, under the provision of this Law, the date of the first publication shall be
the date on which the period of protection shall commence, irrespective of subsequent publications, unless the author has, on republication, introduced
substantive changes that render the work to be considered a new work. If the work comprises several Parts or, Parts of the work are published separately
at different stages, each Part shall be considered a separate work with regard to the calculation of the periods of protection.
Article 17
The moral rights provided for in this Law shall be perpetual and transferable by inheritance following the Author's death. Where the Author dies without a
beneficiary, the relevant Ministry shall undertake the protection of such rights.
