Yemen’s copyright law affects creative businesses in Al Hudaydah by providing automatic protection for original works upon creation without requiring registration. The protection covers literary, artistic, musical works, and software for the author’s life plus 30 years. However, enforcement remains challenging in Al Hudaydah’s markets, particularly near the port area where unauthorized reproductions can enter. Local IP lawyers develop practical strategies to document copyright ownership and pursue infringement cases through Al Hudaydah’s court system when necessary.
