Read a random definition: PROP. REG
A quick definition of point of attachment:
Point of attachment: A point of connection that makes a work eligible for copyright protection under a specific convention. This means that if the author is a citizen of a member nation or if the work originated in a member nation, it can be protected under that convention. For example, the Berne Convention protects works that meet these criteria. Another term for this is connecting factor.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: Point of attachment refers to a connection with a copyright-convention member nation that is sufficient to make a work eligible for protection under that convention.
Example: A work is eligible for Berne Convention protection if the author is a citizen of a Berne member nation or if the work originated in a Berne member nation.
Explanation: This means that if a person is a citizen of a country that is a member of the Berne Convention, or if the work was created in a country that is a member of the Berne Convention, then the work is eligible for copyright protection under the Berne Convention.
Additional Example: A work created by a non-citizen in a Berne Convention member nation is also eligible for protection under the Berne Convention.
Explanation: This means that even if the author of a work is not a citizen of a Berne Convention member nation, if the work was created in a country that is a member of the Berne Convention, then the work is still eligible for copyright protection under the Berne Convention.
