Contexto

Burkina Faso was colonized by the French in the late 19th century, named Upper Volta after the Volta River. It became self governing as the Republic of Upper Volta in 1958 and fully independent on 5 August 1960. Burkina Faso took its present name in 1984.

Burkina Faso has been a member of the Berne Convention since 19 August 1963, the World Trade Organization since 3 June 1995 and the Tratado de la OMPI sobre Derecho de Autor since 6 March 2002.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 032-99/AN of December 22, 1999, on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Burkina Faso.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]

  Unsure West African CFA franc used in Burkina Faso has close ties to France. French Cour de Cassation ruled in 2002 that franc is not covered by Copyright Law[3], but it is not known if it also applies to West African CFA franc.
