Neighbouring rights were introduced for the first time in Soviet legislation.

The new law also deals for the first time ever with the protection of neighbouring rights (Art.

Such neighbouring rights did not exist in Soviet law.

In the field of neighbouring rights, two important treaties are:

Neighbouring rights do not relate to the creative works themselves, but to the performance, transmission and reproduction.

Concerning the neighbouring rights, the term of protection was fifty years since the original performance or broadcast.

Creation of new exclusive rights (such as performers' and other neighbouring rights).

This also applied to neighbouring rights on performances, phonograms, and broadcasts.

Neighbouring rights is a series of rights relating to one piece of work.

For the neighbouring rights, which hadn't existed in Soviet times, the law granted those rights retroactively.

The neighbouring rights, introduced for the first time in the 1991 Fundamentals, were much expanded and clarified in the 1993 copyright law.

It is therefore important to ensure that copyright and neighbouring rights in this increasingly growing digital domain are managed properly to the benefit of all involved.

The 1991 Fundamentals extended the copyright term to 50 years p.m.a. and introduced neighbouring rights for the first time in Soviet legislation.

The term neighbouring rights is exactly equivalent, and is a more literal translation of the original French droits voisins.

Neighbouring rights are generally discussed in the music industry (e.g. performer's rights, recording rights).

Exploitation rights of the author, as well as neighbouring rights, may be acquired, sold, or transferred, if the transfer is set out in writing (Arts.

Neighbouring rights arose in the Rome Convention and was later adopted into the Copyright Act.

Both authors' rights and neighbouring rights are copyrights in the sense of English or U.S. law.

It also stated that the new copyright law applied to all works on which the 50-year term for copyrights and neighbouring rights had not yet elapsed in 1993.

Legislation on cultural industries, such as the protection of intellectual property rights and neighbouring rights, therefore always has to strike the right balance between culture's two social dimensions.

The Special Law on Management Business of Copyright and Neighbouring Rights has been in effect as from October 2001.

In 2003, Russia also joined the Rome Convention, the analogue of the Berne Convention for neighbouring rights.

It contained the copyright law proper in chapters 70 (authors' rights) and 71 (neighbouring rights); chapter 69 contained general provisions also applicable to copyright.
