Background
Honduras gained independence from Spain in 1821. It was part of the First Mexican Empire until 1823, then part of the United Provinces of Central America until 1838. Since then it has been an independent republic.
Honduras has been a member of the Berne Convention since 25 January 1990, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 20 May 2002.[1]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law on Copyright and Related Rights (Decree No. 4-99-E, as amended by Decree No. 16-2006) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Honduras.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]
