Overview

The Kingdom of Bahrain offers a good level of protection for copyright owners and provides clear remedies allowing them to enforce their economic rights relating to copyright works. As in the UK and the US (but not in many other countries in the Middle East), copyright in works created by employees will normally belong to their employer.

Relevant law

Copyright is recognised and protected in Bahrain pursuant to the Copyright Law No. 22 of 2006 as amended by Law No. 5 of 2014 (Copyright Law). In addition, Bahrain is a party to the Berne Convention which sets out basic principles including "national treatment" and the "automatic" protection of copyright works.
