Copyright law of Kazakhstan

Reverse of a 500 KZT banknote, which belongs to a class of works not normally protected by the copyright law of Kazakhstan[a]

In Kazakhstan, the laws on copyright offer protection for the holders of certain intellectual property rights based on the creation of a work.[2][3]

## Overview

[edit]

The current laws are based on a law first adopted by Kazakhstan in 1996, and last amended in 2015.[4][b] The laws largely follow the standards of the Berne Convention and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).[5]

In general, works that are eligible for protection have a copyright term that ends 70 years after the death of the author.[2]

## Enforcement

[edit]

There are no specialized intellectual property courts in Kazakhstan.[6] Civil cases are brought up in ordinary civil courts.[6] Cases dealing with administrative or criminal matters are addressed in administrative or criminal courts.[6]

## International treaties

[edit]

The Berne Convention entered into force in Kazakhstan on 12 April 1999.[7] The WIPO Copyright Treaty entered into force on 12 November 2004.[8]

## Notes

[edit]

1. ^ Two of the birds depicted on the note appear to be based on photos taken by Marcel Burkhard and Kate Tester, and may have been copied without permission.[1] As it is unclear whether or not the banknote, a derivative work, can normally be reproduced without credit, this footnote provides the proper credit here.
2. ^ The 2015 amendment did not enter into force until 2016.[4]
