From December 2 to December 20, the World Intellectual Property Organization’s diplomatic conference on several issues concerning copyright and neighboring rights was held in Geneva. At the conclusion of the meeting, the Treaty on Certain Issues Concerning the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and the Treaty on the Protection of the Rights of Performers and Phonogram Producers were adopted. The Treaty on Certain Questions Concerning the Protection of Literary and Works of Art provides that computer programs are to be protected as literary works and that such protection applies to all kinds of computer programs regardless of their mode of expression or expression. The treaty also stipulates that authors of literary and artistic works should have the exclusive right of authorizing the making available to the public of their originals or copies of works by way of sale or other forms of ownership, as well as exclusive rights to let out and distribute to the public. For the first time, the Treaty on the Protection of the Rights of Performers and Phonogram Producers recognizes the performer’s “spiritual rights” in international treaties.
