In order to ease trade and knowledge sharing among different countries, many intellectual property laws are based on the same general ideas. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works have led to standardization of many laws, and advanced international parity.
Berne is an excellent example. Prior to Berne, a work was only protected in its country of origin: a book published in France could be freely copied in England, and vice versa. Berne ensured as many countries as possible had similar copyright laws (no formalities, minimum of life + 50) and required the recognition of the rights of other signatories.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) also requires its members to adhere to many of Berne's conditions through the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights.
The 1996 World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty further standardized international copyright issues by addressing contemporary technology, most notably the internet.
