WIPO Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances is Concluded
The Beijing diplomatic conference to finalise a new treaty for audiovisual performers was successfully concluded on 26 June 2012 as negotiators from WIPO Member States signed the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances (BTAP).
According to a WIPO media release, the BTAP will strengthen the economic rights of film actors and other performers. It will potentially enable performers to share proceeds with producers for revenues generated internationally. It will also grant performers moral rights, and provide a clearer international legal framework for their protection, also in the digital environment.
The BTAP - which can be read in full here - consists of 30 Articles. It will enter into force once it has been ratified by 30 eligible parties, including countries or certain intergovernmental organisations.
