There it goes
what means roughly that the duration that works are protected is according to the laws of the country where the protection is needed but not longer than in the original country. |
Yes, we know that the Berne Convention doesn't
require signatories to protect copyright works for longer than the protection they receive in their home country. But neither does it
forbid such protection. Each country decides for itself whether or not to extend longer protection to foreign works.
Some countries do, some countries don't, and some countries have switched back and forth (including the UK, which makes working out what US works are in the public domain in the UK extremely complicated).
The page you link to just seems to be the Berne convention. You'd need to find the appropriate Swiss copyright legislation.
