COPYRIGHT LAW AND INFORMATION

Introduction Copyright

After Uganda gained independence, it revised this law to suit the publishing
needs of an independent country. This was done in 1964, leading to the
enactment of the Uganda copyright act of 1964. This act recognized
materials like literary works including poetry, textbook, encyclopaedias,
lecture notes, artistic work like maps, etc., provided they are from an
individual’s own creativity effort.
