Are foreign works also protected by copyrights in the Dominican Republic?
Law 65-00 protects works from authors having Dominican nationality or residing in the country, or who are nationals or residents of countries belonging to the international treaties ratified by the Dominican Republic, as well as works whose first publication has been made in the country (or in a member country of ratified international treaties) or that have been published here (or in a member country of ratified international treaties) thirty days after their first publication. In the absence of international treaties, protection will still be granted to foreign works, but subject to reciprocity.
