UNSPSC 64141504: International copyright

An exclusive right granted to the creator of an original work, usually for a limited time. Copyright may apply to a wide range of creative, intellectual, or artistic forms, or works. Copyrights are obtained through a national copyright process. While no creative work is automatically protected worldwide, there are international treaties which provide protection automatically for all creative works as soon as they are fixed in a medium.

There are two primary international copyright agreements, the Buenos Aires Convention and the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works.

UNSPSC 64141504 International copyright, a Commodity code, shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally addresses intellectual property licensing and copyright-related services, but the four most recent opportunities posted under this classification—a San Mateo County user fee study, a Santa Clara Valley Healthcare revenue audit services RFP, a Phoenix vending-machine IFB, and a Mississippi child-support director position—involve operational consulting, healthcare revenue cycle work, equipment maintenance, and personnel staffing, none of which involve copyright licensing or international intellectual property protection. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in state procurement systems or that this UNSPSC code is not actively used to solicit work within its intended scope across state and local jurisdictions.

Activity appears concentrated in California and Arizona, with secondary activity in Mississippi, though the representative opportunities lack thematic coherence. San Mateo County posted RFP 2026RFP00275 due March 30, 2026, for consulting on department user fees; Santa Clara County issued RFPHHSFY260491 due May 27, 2026, for healthcare revenue review and audit services; the City of Phoenix solicited IFB 260247 for vending-machine maintenance and parts with a March 10, 2026 deadline; and the Mississippi Department of Human Services posted an RFA for a child-support director position due March 18, 2026. No recent solicitations under this code align with copyright licensing, international IP services, or related intellectual property work. Firms evaluating this code should verify actual opportunity coding in their target jurisdictions before committing resources.
