Berne Additional Protocol

Read a random definition: obligatory

A quick definition of Berne Additional Protocol:

The Berne Additional Protocol is a rule that was added to the Berne Convention in 1914. It says that if someone from a country that is not a member of the Berne Convention publishes their work in a member country and their own non-member country at the same time, they can face consequences. This rule was made because the United States did not join the Berne Convention until 1989, but their citizens could still get protection under the convention by publishing their work in a member country first. This rule was a way to prevent that from happening.

A more thorough explanation:

The Berne Additional Protocol is an amendment made to the Berne Convention in 1914. It allows for retaliation against a foreign national who publishes their work simultaneously in a member nation and their own non-member and non-reciprocating country.

For example, if a writer from a country that is not a member of the Berne Convention publishes their work in a member nation and their own country at the same time, they may face legal action or penalties in the member nation.

The Berne Additional Protocol was created to address the United States' refusal to join the Berne Convention until 1989. American citizens could still enjoy Berne protection by first publishing their work in a member nation, which was seen as a "back door" to Berne.
