Contracting State from requiring formalities or other conditions for the
acquisition and enjoyment of copyright in respect of works first
published in its territory or works of its nationals wherever published.

Contracting State from providing that a person seeking judicial relief
must, in bringing the action, comply with procedural requirements, such
as that the complainant must appear through domestic counsel or that
the complainant must deposit with the court or an administrative
office, or both, a copy of the work involved in the litigation; provided
that failure to comply with such requirements shall not affect the
validity of the copyright, nor shall any such requirement be imposed
upon a national of another Contracting State if such requirement is not
imposed on nationals of the State in which protection is claimed.

protecting without formalities the unpublished work of nationals of
other Contracting States.

of copyright and the first term is for a period longer than one of the
minimum periods prescribed in Article IV, such State shall not be
required to comply with the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article in
respect of the second or any subsequent term of copyright.
