Ownership of the copyright to a work is granted to Taiwan nationals upon completion of the work.  By virtue of the 1946 Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation Treaty between Taiwan and the U.S., the works of U.S. nationals are also granted copyright upon completion.  

Taiwan is not a member of the Berne Convention.  Works created by nationals of the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, and Spain are also protected by treaty. After January 1, 2002 when Taiwan entered into the World Trade Organization ("WTO"), works created by nationals of the member states obtained protection. 

 

However, other works, unless first published in Taiwan, or published in Taiwan no more than 30 days after first publication in a nation that provides reciprocal protection to Taiwan nationals, will not be protected in Taiwan.
