Abstract

The Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works by Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities (Marrakesh Treaty) addresses copyright as a barrier to accessibility. A treaty to ensure copyright law does not interfere with accessibility has been more than a decade in the making. The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) initially adopted the Marrakesh Treaty in 2013. This June, the twentieth country ratified the treaty, and the treaty entered into force on September 30, 2016.
