Territorial copyright protection refers to that law or laws which apply to a particular country or jurisdiction and make it unique from it's neighbors.

As an example France has an extension to the existing term of copyright protection covering the "war years" (6 years 152 days for works published before or during WWI and 8 years 120 days for WWII) a further 30 years can be added for authors who died "in the service of France". Theoretically a book published in 1939 by a French author, killed in 1945 during WWII, could be protected by copyright, in France, until 2053.

In terms of an individual work The book Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie is protected in the UK in perpetuity with all royalties going to the Great Ormond Street Hospital even though it's copyright expires in the rest of the world at the end of 2009.
