管辖法律
加纳的边界来源于1900年代的英属黄金海岸。国家于1957年3月6日从英国独立。
Ghana has been a member of the Berne Convention since 11 October 1991, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 18 November 2006.[1]
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright Act, 2005 (Act 690) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Ghana.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[2]
一般规则
Under the Copyright Act, 2005, No. 690,
- The authors rights are protected for the life of the author and 70 years after the death of the author.[690/2005 Section 12(1)]
- A jointly authored work is protected until 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.[690/2005 Section 12(2)]

Previous duration
The Copyright Law, 1985 (P.N.D.CL. 110) had a shorter duration of copyright at 50 years. More specifically,
- The rights of the copyright are protected during the life of the author and 50 years after his death.[P.N.D.CL. 110 Section 10(1)]
- Where a work is of joint authorship, the rights of the author referred to in subsection (1) of section 6 of this Law are protected during the life of the last surviving author and 50 years after his death. [P.N.D.CL. 110 Section 10(2)]
- Where the copyright in a work is owned by a public corporation, the term of protection shall be 50 years commencing from the date on which the work was made public. [P.N.D.CL. 110 Section 11]
