Hintergrund

Die spanischen Kolonien Bioko und Rio Muni wurden 1926 zur Kolonie Spanisch-Guinea vereinigt. Im Jahr 1959 wurde der Status des Landes von „kolonial“ auf „provinziell“ angehoben. Im Jahr 1968 wurde Äquatorialguinea eine unabhängige Republik.

Equatorial Guinea has been a member of the Berne Convention since 26 June 1997.[1]

As of 2024 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Spanish 1889 Civil Code as the main IP law. It was prevously alleged that the Law of January 10, 1879, on Intellectual Property applied, but it has not been mentioned in the EU's IP Country Fiche, which only lists the 1963 penal code. [1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]

Article 428 of the 1889 Civil Code only makes a vague statement about copyright: "The author of a literary, scientific or artistic work has the right to exploit it and dispose of it at will." [1889 Article 428] The following article states that the Law on Intellectual Property (RCL 1960, 1042) determines the people to whom that right belongs, the form of its exercise and the length of its duration. In cases not provided for or resolved by said Special Law, the general rules established in this Code on property will apply. [1889 Article 429] However, the 1960 law (1960, 1042) is actually a law on horizontal property which does not contain any copyright-related provisions.

The 1963 Penal Code had provisions on copyright, but it was repealed in 2022 by a new one.

Since Equatorial Guinea is a member of the Bangui Agreement, Part 1 Title 1 Article 5 states that any provisions contrary to the agreement will be repealed, and the copyright provisions are just a baseline[Bangui Agreement Part 1 Title 1 Article 5], we will assume that the Bangui Agreement (specifically Title 7 which is on copyright) applies.
