Question

Berne Convention of 1886 deals with:

• A. Patents
• B. Geographical Indications
• C. Plant varieties
• D. Copyright

Hint:

Remember: Berne = Copyright; Paris = Patents/Trademarks; UPOV = Plant Varieties.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understanding the Berne Convention.
The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1886) is the principal international agreement governing copyright.
Step 2: Key provision.
It sets minimum standards for copyright protection and ensures that works originating in one member country are given the same protection in all other member countries.
Step 3: Why others are wrong.
(a) Patents — covered under the Paris Convention, not Berne.
(b) Geographical indications — covered under TRIPS Agreement.
(c) Plant varieties — governed by UPOV Convention.
