背景

Yemen was divided between the Ottoman and British empires in the early 20th century. North Yemen became a kingdom after World War I, then a republic in 1962. South Yemen was a British protectorate known as the Aden Protectorate until 1967 when it became independent. The two Yemeni states united to form the modern republic of Yemen in 1990.

Yemen has been a member of the Berne Convention since 14 July 2008 and the World Trade Organization since 26 June 2014.

As of 2021 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, lists Law No. 15 of 2012 on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights as the main copyright law of Yemen.[2] WIPO holds both the Arabic and unofficial English texts of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

[3][4] The law repeals the Intellectual Property Law (Presidential Law Decree No. 19 of 1994 in respect of Intellectual Property).[5]

Standard rules

Under the Law No. 15 of 2012 on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights,

  • The author’s financial rights shall be protected throughout his/her life and for fifty-years following his/her death.[15/2012 Article 31]
  • The financial rights of a joint work shall be protected throughout the lives of all co-authors of the work and fifty-years thereafter starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the death of the last existing author of the work.[15/2012 Article 32]
  • The duration for protecting financial rights of a collective work and audiovisual work shall be fifty years starting from the year following the first publication of the work. If the work is not published within fifty years from the date of achievement, the protection duration shall end after fifty years from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the achievement of the work.[15/2012 Article 33]
  • The duration for protecting financial rights of a work which is published without mentioning the author's name or was published under a pseudonym shall last for fifty years starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the first publication of the work. If the author reveals his identity, the duration of protection shall be in accordance with the provisions of article (31) of the Law.[15/2012 Article 34]
  • The financial rights of applied arts and photography shall be protected for twenty five years starting from the beginning of the Gregorian year following the achievement of the work.[15/2012 Article 35]

The repealed law, Intellectual Property Law (Presidential Decree No. 19 of 1994 on Intellectual Property), only granted a posthumous copyright term of 30 years for most works,[19/1994 Article 24] a copyright term of 25 years from the date of publication for works made by movie or T.V. film producers,[19/1994 Article 25] and a copyright term of 10 years from the date of issuance for photographs.[19/1994 Article 31] However, the current law appears retroactive:

  • The provisions related to copyright provided in Republican Decree by Law No. (19) of 1994 on Intellectual Property Rights shall be cancelled as well as any text or provision in conflict with this law.[15/2012 Article 88]
