Question

According to the Berne Convention, how long are the economic rights that come with a copyright?

Answer 1

Before going to the actual answer, let me explain in brief what Berne Convention is. Berne Convention is an agreement which deals with the copyrights of literary and artistic works. This convention was held in 1886 in Berne, the capital of Switzerland.
Now coming to the actual answer, the duration of economic rights that come with a copyright is: There is a time limit for economic rights. The economic rights stay all through the life of the author or the creator. In case of Berne Convention member countries, the duration of copyright is 50 years after the creator’s/author’s death. These rights differ in some nations. For example, in case of European Union, Ghana and United States of America, the economic rights are for 70 years. For majority of the countries it is 50 years.
In case of photographic work, the economic rights duration is 25 years from the year the work was done. In case of cinematographic work, the minimum duration is 50 years after initial show.
