Droit d'auteur et droits connexes

2. Please state how your legislation provides for the protection of the exclusive rights of authors in relation to their literary and artistic works, as specified in Article 9 of the TRIPS Agreement, which requires Members to comply with Articles 1-21 of the Berne Convention and the Appendix to the Berne Convention (1971).

Copyright Law No. 11.723 remains in force, as amended by Law No. 25.036, which includes software and databases among the works protected under Article 1 (Boletín Oficial of 11 November 1998). Law No. 25.140 (Boletín Oficial of 24 September 1999) ratified the Berne Convention (Paris Act of 1971), although it should be pointed out that prior to acceding to the treaty Argentina was already applying the substantive provisions of the Convention's Brussels Act of 1948.
