Answer:
I. Berne Convention.
II. World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Copyright Treaty.
Explanation:
An intellectual property can be defined as an intangible and innovative creation of the mind that solely depends on human intellect.
Simply stated, an intellectual property is an intangible creation of the human mind, ideas, thoughts or intelligence. They include intellectual and artistic creations such as name, symbol, literary work, songs, graphic design, computer codes, inventions, etc.
An intellectual property (IP) law can be defined as a legal framework and regulations that governs and protects an individual's or organization's intangible and innovative creation of the mind from unauthorized use by a third party. Thus, it is a set of formal rules granted by a government to protect an intellectual property by giving the owner an exclusive right to use while preventing any unauthorized access, use or duplication by others.
The two international agreements from which most nations derive their intellectual property laws are the Berne Convention and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Copyright Treaty.
The Berne Convention is an international agreement governing copyright for the protection and equal treatment of literary and artistic works. It was signed into law on the 9th of September, 1886 in Berne, Switzerland and was adopted by eight (8) countries.
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Copyright Treaty is an international agreement under the Berne Convention and it governs the protection of literary and artistic works, as well as the rights of authors. It was signed into law on the 20th of December, 1996.
