This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Uruguay relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons. Note that any work originating in Uruguay must be in the public domain, or available under a free license, in both Uruguay 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 Uruguay, refer to the relevant laws for clarification.

Uruguay was colonized by the Spanish in the early 18th century, and gained independence between 1811 and 1828,

Uruguay has been a member of the Berne Convention since 10 July 1967, the Universal Copyright Convention since 12 April 1993, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 20 October 2006.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 9.739 of December 17, 1937, on Literary and Artistic Property (as amended up to Law No. 18.046 of October 24, 2006) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Uruguay.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]

In 2019, the term was extended from 50 to 70 years. This extension applies retroactively. Therefore, works by authors who died between 1949 and 1968 would no longer be in the public domain.[3]

Ĝeneralaj reguloj

Under the Law of 1937 as amended up to 2006 and 2019,

  • Literary, scientific or artistic works are protected for 70 years after the death of the author. This duration is retroactive, so works may have entered the public domain and then returned to copyright protection.[18.046/2006 Article 14]
  • Posthumous works are protected for 70 years after death of the author, but fall into the public domain if not published, performed or exhibited in the 10 years following the death of the author.[18.046/2006 Article 14]
  • Anonymous and pseudonymous works are protected for 50 years from publication.[18.046/2006 Article 17]
  • Collective works are protected for 70 years after publication, or if they are not published for 70 years after making or disclosure [18.046/2006 Article 17]. Unless agreed to the contrary, authorization for use of an article, drawing, cartoon, caricature, photograph etc. in a periodical or magazine where the author is not an employee gives the publisher only the right to use it once. The other patrimonial rights of the assignor or licensor are safeguarded.[18.046/2006 Article 22–24]

Durations are calculated from 1 January of the year following death, making, publication or disclosure, as applicable.[18.046/2006 Article 17]
