Copyright law in Monaco
The archive has not been able to settle the details of Monaco stamps specifically. Here is its reading of the copyright law of Monaco, 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
- Older stamps
- A stamp already in the public domain stayed there when the term was extended.
- Note
- The publisher of an anonymous work counts as its author, and no fixed term from issue is given. Only official texts are exempt, so stamp art is not.
