Copyright law in Eritrea
The archive has not been able to settle the details of Eritrea stamps specifically. Here is its reading of the copyright law of Eritrea, and how it reaches a general answer from it. A design answers Likely yes or Likely no only when every term that could apply agrees, and Unclear when they disagree.
- Named designer
- 50 years after the designer’s death
- Note
- The code counts the heirs' 50 years from publication, not from the designer's death, so the life-plus-50 term is not certain.
Historical issuers read under this law: Eritrea (British Administration), Eritrea (British Military Administration), Eritrea (Italian Colony), Italian Colonies (General Issues), Italian East Africa, Middle East Forces (MEF).
