In view of contemporary threats, the Holy See decided to adapt the law of the Vatican City State concerning intellectual property to the international standards. The new act, published on March 19, 2011, adopts the law of the Republic of Italy in this regard, providing that it is in accordance with the Law of God, canon law and all the international treaties signed by the Holy See. The new act is designed to protect the integrity of the teaching of the Bishop of Rome and the Holy See against improper commercial use, or another use that may be detrimental to the Church. The new law also protects the image and the voice of the Pope, as well as the copyright of the Holy See. The act establishes a Committee for Intellectual Property Rights, which is going to deal with matters of particular importance regarding copyrights.
