Background

Uganda takes its name from the Buganda kingdom. Beginning in 1894, the area was ruled as a protectorate by the United Kingdom. Uganda regained independence on 9 October 1962.

Uganda has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995,[1] and became a member of the Berne Convention and WIPO Copyright Treaty since 28 April 2022.

The United Kingdom copyright act was introduced in Uganda in January 1953, and was not subsequently updated to reflect changes in UK law. The 1953 law formed the basis for the Copyright Act of 1964.[2]

The 1964 act was replaced by the 2006 act, effective 4 August 2006.[3] As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the The Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Act, 2006 as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Uganda.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3]

General rules

A work first published in Uganda will be in the public domain if its copyright protection has expired in Uganda by virtue of the non-retrospective Copyright and Neighbouring Rights Bill 2006, or if it entered the public domain prior to the commencement of that law by virtue of the previous Copyright Act 1964.

Under the 1964 Act,[2]

  • Unpublished literary, musical works were protected for 50 years after the end of the year in which the author dies.
  • Published literary, musical or artistic work was protected the later of the following-(a) the end of the year in which the author dies; (b) 50 years after the end of the year in which the work was first published.
  • For unpublished cinematograph film or gramophone record, 50 years after the record, if first published 50 years after the end of the year in which the work was first published, 45 years after the end of the year in which the work was first published.
  • For broadcasts, 50 years after the end of the year in which the broadcast was made.

Under the 2006 act,

  • The economic rights of the author are protected during the life of the author and 50 years after the death of the author.[2006 Section 13(1)]
  • The economic rights in a work of joint authorship are protected during the life of the last surviving author and 50 years after the death of the last surviving author.[2006 Section 13(2)]
  • Where the economic rights in a work are owned by a corporation or other body, the term of protection is 50 years from the date of the first publication of the work.[2006 Section 13(3)]
  • For a work published anonymously or under a pseudonym, the economic rights are protected for 50 years from the date of first publication, if the author does not become known.[2006 Section 13(4)]
  • For an audio-visual work, sound recording or broadcast, the economic rights are protected until the expiration of 50 years commencing from the date of making the work or from the date the work is made available to the public with the consent of the author.[2006 Section 13(5)]
  • For a photographic work, the economic rights are protected for 50 years from the date of making the work.[2006 Section 13(7)]
