પૂર્વભૂમિકા

The region that today is Azerbaijan was ceded by Iran to Russia in the 19th century, then became the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic in 1918, and the Azerbaijan SSR, part of the Soviet Union, in 1920. Nagorno-Karabakh, an oblast of the Azerbaijan SSR with an Armenian majority population, has been self-governing since 1988. During the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan became independent on 18 October 1991. The Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) claims independence, supported by Armenia, but has not been internationally recognised.

Azerbaijan has been a member of the Berne Convention since 4 June 1999 and the WIPO treaty since 11 April 2006.[1]

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law on Copyright and Related Rights of October 22, 1996 (as amended up to Law No. 636-IVQD of April 30, 2013) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Azerbaijan.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] WIPO also holds the text of Law on Legal Protection of Azerbaijani Folklore Expressions of August 8, 2003 (as amended up to Law No. 638-IVQD of April 30, 2013).[3]
