Moroccan copyright law defines a work as an "original intellectual creations in the literary and artistic field".[1-00-20 Art.3] The law also specifies that protection is "independent from the mode or form of expression, nor the quality or purpose of the work".[1-00-20 Art.3] This implies that, while present, the TOO in Morocco would be somewhat low.
