Reuses other publishers' content, in Guinea-Bissau

Accord de Bangui instituant une Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle, Acte du 14 décembre 2015, Annexe VII (Propriété littéraire et artistique), art. 15 · Read the law's page

• The Bangui Agreement's Annex VII, in the Act of December 14, 2015, applies in Guinea-Bissau as an African Intellectual Property Organization (OAPI) member state, where the Agreement and its Annexes take the place of national law on the matters they cover; Annex VII is a minimum normative framework.
• You need not obtain permission to use the news of the day or mere facts and data: Annex VII does not protect them (art. 6).
• You may reproduce by print or audiovisual press an economic, political or religious article published in a newspaper or periodical, or a broadcast work of the same character, without the author's authorization or payment, unless the right of reproduction, broadcasting or communication to the public has been expressly reserved (art. 15).
• Credit the source and the author's name where the source gives it.
• You may reproduce or make accessible to the public, to report current events, a work seen or heard in the course of the event, to the extent the informational purpose justifies.
• You may reproduce by print or audiovisual press political speeches, lectures, addresses, sermons and courtroom pleadings for information, unless their authors have expressly reserved their rights; the authors alone keep the right to publish collections of them.
• You may quote a lawfully published work in another work, crediting the source and author, if the quotation accords with good usage and does not exceed what its purpose justifies (art. 11).
• Do not assume the press exception reaches a systematic aggregator's reproduction of headlines and snippets: Annex VII does not say so.
