Origins of the Berne Convention

View through CrossRef
This chapter discusses the origins of the Berne Convention. Although the network of bilateral copyright arrangements in force prior to 1886 was extensive, the protection which this offered to authors in countries other than their own was far from comprehensive or systematic. Apart from the early treaties with the German and Italian states, multilateral copyright agreements in the true sense took time to emerge. Of these, the Berne Convention was to be the first, and the most important. However, the need for a more uniform and broader-based kind of international protection had been recognized some time before this by authors and artists. The chapter deals with this development, and the different stages by which this early recognition was eventually transformed into the Berne Convention.
