3、版权登记在其他国家的效力
美国与世界上大多数国家建立了版权关系,由于这些协议,我们尊重彼此公民的版权。然而,美国并非与每个国家都建立了这样的版权关系。有关与美国的版权关系及其性质的国家列表,请参阅《38a通告》,即美国的国际版权关系通告。
The United States has copyright relations with most countries throughout the world, and as a result of these agreements, we honor each other's citizens' copyrights. However, the United States does not have such copyright relationships with every country. For a listing of countries and the nature of their copyright relations with the United States, see Circular 38a, International Copyright Relations of the United States.
