Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Commentary Record-ID: d_1827a Full title Treaties between Prussia and other German States concerning reciprocal protection of authors' and publishers' rights Full title original language Gesetz=Sammlung für die Königlichen Preußischen Staaten Abstract Between 1827 and 1829 Prussia entered into thirty bilateral agreements with member states of the German Confederation. Apart from Austria, these agreements were concluded with most of the bigger states (e.g. Bavaria, Saxony, Hannover, Württemberg, Baden, the Grand Duchy of Hessen, Hamburg) and many of the smaller states that made up the German Confederation. Prussian authors and publishers were to be protected like the subjects of the signatory states, and vice versa Prussia guaranteed national treatment for the signatory states' subjects. In states where efficient protection could only be obtained by the acquisition of a privilege (e.g. Württemberg), Prussian subjects were to pay no extra fee above what natives had to pay. The Prussian initiative prompted the adjustment of copyright legislation in some of the contracting states. The treaties with Hamburg (13 July 1828) and Anhalt-Dessau (11 December 1827) explicitly referred to new ordinances that apparently had to be specially issued in these states in order to meet Prussian expectations. The treaties were a major step towards the directives of 1834 and 1837 (d_1837b) that effectively set minimum standards for copyright protection within the whole of the German Confederation.
