Art Protection
One of the main treaties governing art works is Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, which seeks to protect, in as effective and uniform a manner as possible, the rights of authors in their literary and artistic works.
Art is also protected by copyright and trademark laws administered by the U.S Patent and Trademark Office.
