BOTSWANA SIGNS UP TO WIPO TREATIES

Botswana has acceded to the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, with effect from 27 January 2005.

The IPKat is excited to know that Botswana's accession to the Copyright Treaty will benefit the writings of Alexander McCall Smith, whose stories of Mma Ramotswe and the No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency have brought Botswana and its national cultural values before an admiring readership worldwide.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
