Ein Bild einer Briefmarke muss public domain oder frei lizenziert sein, bevor es in Wikimedia Commons hochgeladen werden kann.

Die Urheberrechtsregeln für Briefmarken sind von Land zu Land unterschiedlich. Briefmarken können als staatliche Werke betrachtet werden, die nicht urheberrechtlich geschützt sind, obwohl es Commons:Nicht-urheberrechtliche Beschränkungen gibt, in denen die Stempel verwendet werden können. Sie können als staatliche oder korporative Werke betrachtet werden, die für einen definierten Zeitraum, beispielsweise 50 Jahre nach ihrer Herausgabe, urheberrechtlich geschützt sind. Der Copyright-Begriff kann sich auf die Lebensdauer der Mitwirkenden am Stempeldesign beziehen und kann sich nach dem Tod des letzten Überlebenden auf 70 Jahre oder mehr erstrecken.

Ziel dieser Projektseite ist es, die urheberrechtliche Situation von Briefmarken zu klären. Es enthält Informationen, die von Seiten aufgeschlüsselt werden und die für jedes Land relevanten Regeln beschreiben.

Copyrighted The basic copyright law of Argentina is Law No. 11.723 of September 28, 1933, on Legal Intellectual Property Regime (Copyright Law, as last amended by Law No. 26.570 of November 25, 2009). There is no mention of stamps or official works in the law, but Article 8 (as translated) says that "The ownership of anonymous intellectual works belonging to institutions, corporations or legal persons shall last for 50 years from the date of publication of those works." The government of Argentina is an institution and not a natural person so assume that where a stamp is anonymous, it is out of copyright after 50 years. Use {{PD-AR-Anonymous}} where applicable. If the designer of the stamp is shown, the stamp will remain in copyright for seventy years after death.

  The Austrian postal service (Österreichische Post) has limited copyright for all stamps and the displayed images. The stamps can be used for sale, manufacture and advertising. For all other imaging requests (such as printing works, books or encyclopedias) the respective postage stamp designer needs to be contacted, since it is not advertising. For each stamp a release must be obtained individually. The contact addresses of the designers are subject to data privacy. See de:Wikipedia:Briefmarken#.C3.96sterreichische_Post. Therefore the general copyright term applies (pma + 70).

As mentioned elsewhere (see Manchukuo and Wang Jingwei regime CRT pages), stamps issued by the government of Manchukuo, or the Wang Jingwei regime are nowadays in public domain, as both are considered as puppet regimes by Chinese Government, and hence never recognized their copyright status.

Pending informations, but in normal cases   Not OK for nearly all non-Manchukuo, non-Wang-regime stamps in China, because in most cases, the dates of birth of authors of those stamps are not publicly known, unless if that's issued before Jan 1, 1929 which is a {{PD-anon-expired}} case, we should de facto judge them as copyrighted by China Post or its affiliates (e.g. Beijing Stamp Factory).[4]

In rare cases, if the dates of birth of authors of some individual stamps are known, those can enter the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.

Åland has its own laws on postal matters; the discussion below does not concern stamps of Åland.

  Stamps issued before 1990

Before 1990 stamps were issued by a public body whose decisions and statements are not protected by copyright. See #Not protected (above). If an image of a stamp was included in a public body's decision or statement and the stamp is not an independent work, the image would be free of copyright as part of the document, the document can be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and the image can be cropped from this document. Use {{PD-FinlandStamp}} in these cases.

It is uncertain how the above affects the copyright of stamps depicted in other places. The precautionary principle is that we assume a stamp is copyrighted unless proven otherwise. A copyrighted stamp will lose copyright protection 70 years after the author's death or 70 years after publication if the author is anonymous. Information on the author of a stamp will often be available at Postimuseo's Postimerkkiselain, and should be included in the stamp description where available. Use {{PD-old-70}} or {{PD-anon-70}} in these cases.

  Stamps issued from 1990

Posts and Telecommunications of Finland became a state-owned enterprise known as Posti-Tele in 1990. It is not clear whether this entity and its successors retained the status of public bodies. The precautionary principle is that we assume it did not, and any new stamps issued from 1990 onward remain copyrighted.

Laut Entscheidung eines deutschen Landgerichts (Landgericht Berlin) in einem Fall der Erben des deutschen Künstlers Loriot gegen die Wikimedia Foundation, bekannt gegeben am 27. März 2012, sind deutsche Briefmarken keine „amtliche Werke“ nach § 5 I oder II UrhG und damit nicht gemeinfrei, wie bisher bei Commons angenommen.

Briefmarken anderer privater Einrichtungen sind ebenfalls urheberrechtlich geschützt. Es gilt jedoch die übliche deutsche Urheberrechtsverfallsfrist - das Urheberrecht erlischt 70 Jahre nach dem 1. Januar nach dem Tod des Urhebers. Einzelne Briefmarken können aus anderen Gründen (z.B. einfache grafische Gestaltung) urheberrechtsfrei sein.

Although Hungarian copyright law denies copyright protection for "means of state direction" (Act No. LXXVI. of 1999], I.4), the recommendation by the Council of Copyright Experts rejects a similar arguments for banknotes and suggests that "means of state direction" applies to specific, "official" uses of a work.

[9][10]

The same logic is presumed to apply to stamps as well. Assume copyrighted until general term of protection expires.

  Until specific information becomes available, apply the 70 years pma rule (or 70 years after issue for anonymous/pseudonymous stamps), so stamps by designers deceased more than 70 years are public domain. Where there are joint authors, such as an engraver and a designer, the copyright term starts following the death of the last survivor.

{{PD-Italy}} does not apply to Italian stamps. The law contains no exceptions to standard copyright law for stamps.

Stamps sometimes contain date and author. The Stamp Art blog, while not necessarily reliable, does list designers and some engravers of Italian stamps and Italian stamp designers, so may be worth reviewing.

The Copyright Law of 2000 (as amended up to June 14, 2017) says that official symbols and signs (flags, coats of arms, anthems, and awards) are not protected, but does not include stamps in this list. It also says that official documents and official translations of such texts are not protected, but a stamp cannot be considered to be the text of an official document. Under the precautionary principle we must assume that stamps are protected in the normal way.

  According to the Law of May 19, 1999, on Copyright and Neighboring Rights, "Copyright protection shall not subsist in ... means of payment".[1999-2006 Art.5] However, Liechtenstein generally emulates Swiss law, and Liechtenstein's Copyright Act is based on the Swiss text. The majority of Swiss copyright law commentaries does not consider stamps "means of payment".

[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]

It is therefore likely that Liechtenstein stamps are protected by copyright as well.

It protects the work created by a person employed or engaged by the Crown, Ministers of the Crown, offices of Parliament and government departments. See Wikipedia:Crown copyright [in English].

According to this law, images of New Zealand stamps are in the public domain :

  • 50 years after issue for stamps issued before 31 December 1944 (Template:PD-NZ-50-years on the Wikipedia in English). Use {{PD-NZ-50-years}}. All stamps from 1944 and before are thus in the Public Domain.
  • 100 years after issue for stamps issued between 1 January 1945 and the 31 March 1987 by the New Zealand Post Office as a Department of the Government. No stamps from 1945 onward will therefore become public domain before 1 January 2045.
