When a symbol is affixed to an element, it signifies that the element is protected by law and that only the owner has the right to decide on its use, unless specific authorization is obtained from them or their legal representatives. The Berne Convention, established in 1886, aims to guarantee international protection for works subject to this type of regulation in the countries that are signatories to it. However, this convention does not provide for dispute resolution mechanisms or sanctions in the event of non-compliance with its provisions.
