The term of protection of copyright for a literary or artistic work is set at 70 years from:

  • the death of the author of the work, or the death of the last surviving author in the case of a work of joint ownership;
  • the date on which the work was lawfully made available to the public if it is anonymous or was produced under a pseudonym.
