Governing laws

Jersey is a "territory for which the United Kingdom is responsible" rather than a sovereign state. It is not a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). However, the United Kingdom's ratification of the Berne Convention extended to the territory of the Bailiwick of Jersey as of 31 January 2014. Copyright laws are defined by the Intellectual Property (Unregistered Rights) (Jersey) Law 2011.
