Copyright in the Republic of Albania
Durres, Albania
Copyright and other rights associated with it, as objects of law arranged and guaranteed by legal norms, are relatively new, not only in Albania but also in the world. Copyright as part of wider legislation called intellectual property, is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Albania in its Article 58. This paper will speak about the history of the protection of copyright in Albania, its origin and development; copyright as civil legal relationship; objects of copyright and the exceptions from that right; the term of protection of copyright, etc.; all in the context of harmonization of national legislation with the EU. Below we will explain what prevents law enforcement in the field of copyright? In the material among the other are mentioned: insufficient administrative capacity in the Albanian Office for Copyright, impossible to cover the territory of the Republic of Albania market inspection for the detection of violations, the market inspection for ascertain the violations, lack of qualified judges and prosecutors in the field of copyright, poor cooperation between the state police, tax and customs etc. Methods used in the analysis are the description, comparison, historical, logical analysis and synthesis.
