Other information

Mehdi Mahboubian was a prominent Jewish-Iranian art dealer. He passed away in 2005. He worked for the Shah and Queen of Iran before the Iranian Revolution. As it is a passport photo from circa 1970, it is believed that there is no copyright holder as it would be impossible to trace who made the photo, or else the copyright holder would have been Mehdi Mahboubian himself, now deceased. This image was provided by a relative of Mehdi Mahboubian.

Licensing

This is a historical portrait and is over 45 years old. It is a passport photo so therefore reasonably the copyright holder is unknown or n/a.

This work is now in the public domain in Iran, because according to the Law for the Protection of Authors, Composers and Artists Rights (1970) its term of copyright has expired for one of the following reasons:

• The creator (or last surviving author, for all types of sculptures) died more than 50 years ago. (Reformation of article 12 - 22 August 2010)

• The creator died more than 30 years before 22 August 2010, for works that their copyright expired before 22 August 2010 according to the 1970 law.

In the following cases images fall into public domain after 30 years from the date of publication or public presentation: (Article 16)

• Photographic or cinematographic works.

• In cases where the work belongs to a legal person or rights are transferred to a legal person.

The media description page should identify which reason applies.

Per U.S. Circ. 38a., Iran is not a participant in the Berne Convention or any other treaty on copyright with the United States.

As such, works published by citizens of Iran in Iran are usually not subject to copyright protection outside of Iran. Hence, such works may be in the public domain in most other countries worldwide.

However

Works published in Iran by citizens or permanent residents of other countries that are signatories to the Berne Convention or any other treaty on copyright will still be protected in their home country and internationally as well as locally by local copyright law.
Similarly, works published outside of Iran within 30 days of publication within Iran will also usually be subject to protection in the foreign country of publication. When works are subject to copyright outside of these countries, the term of such copyright protection may exceed the term of copyright inside them.
Unpublished works from Iran may be fully copyrighted.
A work from Iran may become copyrighted in the United States under the URAA if Iran enters a copyright treaty or agreement with the United States and the work is still under copyright in Iran.

Iran has enacted a copyright law which came into force on 12 January 1970 and communicated the official English translation to UNESCO on 20 April 1970.
