St Vincent and the Grenadines

Back in the 1960s we all used to make jokes about St Vincent and the Grenadines being the name of a pop group -- and now the island state has indeed shown itself greatly interested the legal side of the music industry.

By WPPT Notification No. 79 the World Intellectual Property Organization has announced that the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has deposited its instrument of accession to the 1996 WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, which enters into force there on 12 February 2011.
