Notes

On June 1, 1928, the Rome Conference of the Berne Copyright Union adopted a proposal, expressing the wish that all interested governments work together toward a general convention, the object of which would be the world-wide unification of laws protecting the creations of the spirit. This voeu was the starting point of the work undertaken between the two world wars by the Bureau of the Berne Union, the Organization for Intellectual Cooperation of the League of Nations and the International Rome Institute for the Unification of Private Law. The endeavor was specially encouraged by the League of Nations, the Pan American Union, and the Governments of Brazil and France.
