This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Vietnam relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons.

Contexto

Vietnam was independent until the 19th century, when it was colonized by the French. After World War II the country declared independence on 2 September 1945. A struggle began with the French and then the United States, during which North Vietnam and South Vietnam were politically separated. North Vietnam was the victor, and the country was reunited in 1975.

Restoration of Vietnamese copyrights in the United States occurred through Presidential Proclamation No. 7161 of December 23, 1998.

[1]

Vietnam has been a member of the Berne Convention since 26 October 2004 and the World Trade Organization since 11 January 2007.

[2]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Law No. 50/2005/QH11 of November 29, 2005, on Intellectual Property as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Vietnam.[2] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3] It was then modified by Law No. 36/2009/QH12 of June 19, 2009, amending and supplementing a Number of Articles of the Law on Intellectual Property[4], Law No. 42/2019/QH14 of June 14, 2019, amending the Law on Insurance Business and the Law on Intellectual Property[5] and Law No. 07/2022/QH15 of June 16, 2022, amending and supplementing a Number of Articles of the Law on Intellectual Property.[6] The Vietnamese government also published an official online version alongside an official English translation.[7] As of 2022, the government issued a complete merged text on Intellectual Property Law.[8]

In addition, there are 11 relevant decrees (17 if amendments are included) and 22 circulars (30 if amendments are included) serving as implementation guidances.[2]

General rules

Standard term for works

  • The standard copyright term for works is author's life + 50 years.[36/2009 Article 27(2b)] For a work under joint authorship, the term of protection expires in the 50th year after the death of the last surviving co-author.[36/2009 Article 27(2b)]
  • The term of protection expires at 24:00 of December 31st of the year of expiration of the copyright protection term.[36/2009 Article 27(2c)]

{{PD-anon-auto-1996|country=Vietnam}} URAA date for Vietnam is December 23, 1998.[1] The 50-year term applied on the URAA date,[9] so works published before January 1, 1948 where the author remains unknown, and works by authors who died before January 1, 1948, are in the public domain in the United States.

Cinematographic works, photographic works, works of applied art and anonymous works

  • Under 2005 Law, cinematographic works, photographic works, dramatic works, works of applied art and anonymous works where the author remains unknown have a term of protection of 50 years from the date of first publication.[50/2005 Article 27(2a)] Under 2009 Amendment, from January 1st 2010, cinematographic works, photographic works, works of applied art and anonymous works where the author remains unknown have a term of protection of 75 years from the date of first publication.[36/2009 Article 27(2a)] Works which entered public domain prior to January 1st 2010 remained in the public domain even if they now qualified for copyright protection. And those works whose copyright terms have not expired on January 1st 2010 now prolong to 75 years.[36/2009 Article 220]
  • Under 2005 Law, within 50 years after the fixation of a cinematographic work or dramatic work, if such work has not been published, the term of protection shall be calculated from the date of its fixation.[50/2005 Article 27(2a)]. Under 2009 Amendment, from January 1st 2010, for cinematographic works, photographic works and works of applied art which remain unpublished within 25 years from the date of fixation, the term of protection is 100 years from the date of fixation.[36/2009 Article 27(2a)]

Posthumous works

  • Since April 26, 2023, copyright term of posthumous works shall conform to Article 27 of the Law on Intellectual Property.[Decree No. 17/2023 Article 17][10] Before April 26, 2023, posthumous works are granted 50 years of copyright protection from the date of first publication.[Decree No. 22/2018 Article 24][11]
  • The rights of performers shall be protected for 50 years counting from the year following the year of fixation of their performances.[50/2005 Article 34(1)]
  • The rights of producers of phonograms or video recordings shall be protected for 50 years counting from year following the year of publication, or 50 years counting from the year following the year of fixation of unpublished phonograms or video recordings.[50/2005 Article 34(2)]
  • The rights of broadcasting organizations shall be protected for 50 years counting from the year following the year of the making of their broadcasts.[50/2005 Article 34(3)]
  • The term of protection shall expire at 24:00 of December 31 of the year of expiration of related right protection term.[50/2005 Article 34(4)]

Prior law

Law No. 50/2005/QH11 was not retroactive, so works that had gone into the public domain remained in the public domain even if they now qualified for copyright protection under the 2005 law. The prior laws were Ordinance No: 38-L/CTN of the Standing Committee of the National Assembly, dated 2 December 1994, it was replaced by the Civil Code, Part 6: Intellectual property rights and technology transfer, adopted on 28 October 1995.[12] Under these laws:

[13][14][9]

  • Copyright extended for the life of the author and 50 years after their death.[1994 Art. 17][1995 Art. 766(2)]
  • Works of joint authorship were protected for 50 years after death of the last surviving author.[1994 Art. 18][1995 Art. 766(3)]
  • For cinematographic works, radio, television or video programs, and works published posthumously, copyright extended for 50 years after the date of first publication.[1994 Art. 20(1), 21][1995 Art. 766(4)]
  • The rights of unknown or anonymous authors belonged to the state, unless the author was identified within 50 years of the date of publication, in which case protection would apply until 50 years after the death of the author (or last surviving author).[1994 Art. 20(2), 21][1995 Art. 766(5)]
  • The rights of the producers of audio tapes and records, and of video tapes and disks shall be protected for a period of 50 years commencing on the date these tapes, records and disks are published for the first time.[1994 Art. 32][1995 Art. 777(2)]
  • The rights of radio and television broadcasting organizations shall be protected for a period of 50 years commencing on the date the radio or television program is broadcast for the first time.[1994 Art. 35][1995 Art. 779(2)]

The first copyright law of Vietnam was Decree No. 142-HĐBT of November 14, 1986 by the Council of Ministers with the term of copyright protection was the life of the author (or the last surviving co-author) and 30 years after their death; and copyright for an organization was unlimited, if the organization was dissolved, the copyright belonged to the state.[15]
