| 释义 | 世界版權公約 Abbr – UCC An international treaty on copyright, administered by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. It was adopted at Geneva, 6 September 1952 and revised at Paris, 24 July 1971. The UCC affords the published and unpublished works of citizens of one member state the same protection in the territory of other member states. The purpose of the UCC was to bridge the different systems of copyright applying in countries that were party to the Berne Convention, and countries such as the United States of America and most South American countries. In Berne Convention countries, no formalities are allowed before copyright protection is available, and wide-ranging minimum levels of protection are demanded from signatories. In countries such as the United States of America and most South American countries formalities such as registration were often required, and many of these countries determined the level of protection given to foreign works by reference to the law of the country of first publication, rather than on the basis of treating owners of copyright in foreign works on the same basis as their own citizens. The UCC limits the ability of countries to impose formal procedures for copyright protection, by requiring that signatories impose no formality beyond publication with the ‘copyright notice’ (the symbol (c) followed by the name of the copyright owner, and the year of first publication). The UCC also requires a signatory to extend the same copyright protection to material of foreign ownership as it does to material in which its own nationals own copyright (provided that the foreign copyright owner is a national of another UCC signatory). The United Kingdom ratified the Convention and protocols on 27 June 1957, the UCC has been implemented in Hong Kong since then and continues to apply to Hong Kong after the handover on 1 July 1997. China had not acceded to the UCC only until 30 July 1992.
