Note that any work originating in Ethiopia must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Ethiopia and the United States before it can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. If there is any doubt about the copyright status of a work from Ethiopia, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Contexto

During the late 19th-century Scramble for Africa, Ethiopia was one of two nations to retain its sovereignty from long-term colonialism by a European colonial power, although it was occupied by Italy between 1936 and 1941.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004 as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Ethiopia.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] The law was amended in some aspects by the Copyright and Neighboring Rights Protection (Amendment) Proclamation No. 872/2014.[3]

Applicability

"Work" means a production in the literary, scientific and Artistic fields. It includes in particular: a) books, booklets, articles in reviews and newspaper, computer programs; b) speeches, lectures, addresses, sermons, and other oral works; c) dramatic, dramatico-musical works, pantomimes, choreographic works, and other works created for stage production; d) musical compositions; e) audiovisual works; f) works of architecture; g) works of drawing, painting, sculpture, engraving, lithography, tapestry, and other works of fine arts; h) photographic works; i) illustrations, maps, plans, sketches, and three dimensional works related to geography, topography, architecture or science.[410/2004 Article 2(30)]

The following are also protected as works: a) translation, adaptations, arrangements and other transformations or modifications of works, b) collection of works such as encyclopedia or anthologies or databases whether in machine readable or other form provided that such collections are original by reason of the selection or arrangement of their contents.[410/2004 Article 4] The author of a work shall be entitled to protection for his work without any formality where it is original and fixed. Photographic works, in addition to the above, shall be protected where they a) form part of a collection or are published in a book or b) bear the name and address of the author or his agent.[410/2004 Article 6]

Copyright notes
De acuerdo con U.S. Circ. 38a., los siguientes países no participan en el Convenio de Berna o cualquier otro tratado sobre derechos de autor con Estados Unidos:
  • Timor Oriental, Eritrea, Etiopía, Irán, Iraq, Islas Marshall, Palau, Somalia, Somalilandia y Sudán del Sur.

Por lo tanto, las obras publicadas por ciudadanos de estos países en los mencionados países no suelen estar sujetas a la protección de los derechos de autor fuera de estos países. Por lo tanto, dichas obras pueden ser de dominio público en la mayoría de los demás países del mundo.

Sin embargo:

  • Las obras publicadas en estos países por ciudadanos o residentes permanentes de otros países signatarios del Convenio de Berna o de cualquier otro tratado sobre derechos de autor seguirán estando protegidas en su país de origen e internacionalmente, así como localmente, por la legislación local sobre derechos de autor (si existe).
  • Del mismo modo, las obras publicadas fuera de estos países en los 30 días siguientes a su publicación en ellos también suelen estar sujetas a la protección en el país extranjero de publicación. Cuando las obras están sujetas a derechos de autor fuera de estos países, la duración de dicha protección de derechos de autor puede superar la duración de los derechos de autor dentro de ellos.
  • Las obras sin publicar de estos países pueden estar totalmente protegidas por derechos de autor.
  • Una obra de uno de estos países puede ser objeto de derechos de autor en los Estados Unidos en virtud de la URAA si el país de origen de la obra entra en un tratado o acuerdo de derechos de autor con los Estados Unidos y la obra todavía está bajo derechos de autor en su país de origen.

Etiopía ha promulgado una ley de derechos de autor publicada en la Gaceta Oficial (traducción no oficial al inglés (OMPI)) que entró en vigor el 19 de julio de 2004.

  . Ethiopia's copyright law excepts "any official text of a legislative, administrative or of legal nature, as well as official translations thereof".[410/2004 Article 5(b)] The term "official text" does not seem to include banknotes. Note that, as of May 2016, Ethiopia is not a party to the Berne Convention, so Ethiopian banknotes are not protected by US copyright law. However, Commons' policy is that works must be free in both the US and the source country.

Libertad de panorama

  . {{NoFoP-Ethiopia}} Ethiopian law includes buildings and sculptures and fine arts works among the works subject to rights of copyright (Part 1 - article 3 : Scope of application ) and there is no "freedom of panorama" exception.

Note that due to lack of a copyright treaty, most works from Ethiopia are in the public domain in the United States and most other countries. However, files uploaded to Commons must also be free in the country of origin.

. There are no specific laws on the copyright status of stamps. Ethiopian stamps are in the public domain 50 years after the date of issue, per the Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Protection Proclamation No. 410/2004, which states that "Economic rights shall belong to the author during his lifetime and to the heirs or legatees for fifty years from the date of death of the author" (Art. 20) and "The economic rights relating to an audiovisual work shall be protected for fifty years beginning from the date of making of the work or communication of the work to the public, which ever date is the latest."
