BACKROUND. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)--a specialized agency of the United Nations which administers most of the international treaties in the field of intellectual property (patents, trademarks, and copyrights)-- convened a diplomatic conference from December 2-20, 1996, in Geneva, Switzerland, to consider three draft treaties in the field of intellectual property. Delegates representing more than 160 countries participated in the conference, which ultimately adopted two new intellectual property treaties (and postponed consideration of the third draft treaty on database protection). The President in July 1997 submitted the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty to the Senate for its advice and consent to ratification of the treaties by the United States, accompanied by recommendations for implementing legislation. The WIPO Copyright Treaty originated in a WIPO work program to update the major international copyright treaty, the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (''Berne Convention''). This work program started in 1989 and included discussion of the relevant copyright issues by seven Committees of Experts. This process was known as the ''Berne Protocol,'' since it was conceived as a mechanism to modernize the Berne Convention (last revised in 1971) without engaging in a full revision of the Convention. The original purpose was to make explicit in the Berne Convention that computer programs and databases are protected as copyright subject matter, and generally to update the Convention concerning use of copyrighted works in digital, electronic environments. Initially, the United States sought to have updated protection for sound recordings included in the ''Berne Protocol'' process. The European Union and many other countries strenuously resisted inclusion of sound recording protection because sound recordings are not copyright subject matter under their laws nor, they insisted, under the Berne Convention. The majority of countries protect sound recordings under so-called ''neighboring'' or ''related'' rights. The principal neighboring rights convention is the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations (known as the ''1961 Rome Convention'' or the ''Neighboring Rights Convention''). The United States is not a member of the 1961 Rome Convention on neighboring rights. The United States adheres to a more narrow sou...
