Copyright Law Of Kazakhstan
In Kazakhstan, the laws on copyright offer protection for the holders of certain intellectual property rights based on the creation of a work.
Overview
The current laws are based on a law first adopted by Kazakhstan in 1996, and last amended in 2015. The laws largely follow the standards of the Berne Convention and the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
In general, works that are eligible for protection have a copyright term that ends 70 years after the death of the author.
Enforcement
There are no specialized intellectual property courts in Kazakhstan. Civil cases are brought up in ordinary civil courts. Cases dealing with administrative or criminal matters are addressed in administrative or criminal courts.
International treaties
The Berne Convention entered into force in Kazakhstan on 12 April 1999. The WIPO Copyright Treaty entered into force on 12 November 2004.
