Hintergrund
Nigeria state originated from British colonial rule beginning in the 19th century, and took its present territorial shape with the merging of the Southern Nigeria Protectorate and Northern Nigeria Protectorate in 1914. Nigeria became a formally independent federation on 1 October 1960.
Nigeria has been a member of the Berne Convention since 14 September 1993, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 4 January 2018.[1]
As of 2023 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright Act, 2022 (Act No.8 of 2022 as the most recent main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Nigeria.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2] This law repeals the Copyright Act of 1988 (Chapter C.28, as codified 2004), a copy of which is also available at WIPO Lex database.[3]
- Retroactivity
The 2004 act repealed the Copyright Act 1970.[C.28/2004 Art.52] It applies retroactively.[C.28/2004 5th Schedule]
The 2022 act is apparently not retroactive: "The Copyright Act, Cap. C28, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004 is repealed."[No.8/2022 Sec. 106(1)] And, "Without prejudice to section 6 of the Interpretation Act, the repeal of the enactment specified in subsection (1), shall not affect anything doneunder the enactment."[No.8/2022 Sec. 106(3)] The act became effective on 17 March 2023.[4]
Dauer
Under the Copyright Act of 1988 (Chapter C.28, as codified 2004), the terms of protection are:
- Anonymous or pseudonymous works are protected until 70 years after the end of the year of publication.[C.28/2004 Art.2(3)]
- Literary, musical or artistic works other than photographs: 70 years after the end of the year in which the author dies.[C.28/2004 1st Sched/1]
- In the case of government or a body corporate, 70 years after the end of the year in which the work was first published.[C.28/2004 1st Sched/1]
- Cinematograph films and photographs. 50 years after the end of the year in which the work was first published.[C.28/2004 1st Sched/2]
- Sound recordings. 50 years after the end of the year in which the recording was first made.[C.28/2004 1st Sched/3]
- Broadcasts. 50 years after the end of the year in which the broadcasting first took place.[C.28/2004 1st Sched/4]
Notice there is no exception for government works – quite the opposite, they are very broadly covered: " Copyright shall be conferred by this section on every work, which is eligible for copyright and is made by or under the direction or control of the Government, a State authority or prescribed international body."
