Rights and sources

Copyright in the works

Under Vietnamese intellectual property law, economic rights in a work last for the author's lifetime and fifty years thereafter — until the end of 2059 in the case of Toan Ánh. Those rights passed to his heirs. Moral rights, including the right of attribution, are perpetual.
