Morocco's chamber of advisors approves draft law on copyright

Morocco's Chamber of Advisors (2nd House of Parliament) approved Thursday a draft law on copyright in a bid to protect the intellectual property in the Kingdom.

The draft law defines the legal framework governing literary and artistic works as provided for by the Bern Convention, the World Organization of Intellectual Property and the World Trade Organization.

The law also seeks to protect the rights of translators, tv-radio producers and creators of other artistic activities.
