　　(b)“录音制品版权公约国”即指已认可、接受或同意加入，于1971年10月29日达成的，关于保护录音制品所有版权免受非法复制品的侵害，或为免受侵害而采取的法律程序的有关公约的国家，其中包括明细表中第Ⅴ部分提到的国家;

　　(a)在明细表中第Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ部分提到的国家首次制作并出版发行的制品，其地位类似于在印度首次制作并出版发行的制品;

　　(b)首次制作并出版发行，不属于明细表中第Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ部分提到的国家的制品，但作者在该制品发行时或虽已死亡但在去世时，属于上述明细表第Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ部分提到的国家的国民，则其拥有的权利如同有印度公民身份的或居住在印度境内的作者。

　　(c)虽然未出版发行，但在制作及正在出版过程中，该作者属明细表中第Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ部分提到的国家的国民或居住在上述国家境内，则其拥有与同时期印度公民同等权利;

　　说明：“原始出版国”在本段中的含义是指下述国家：

　　(a)当制品在某个伯尔尼联盟国或世界版权公约国首次制作并出版发行的情况下，则为该国家;

　　(b)当制品在一个属于伯尔尼联盟或世界版权公约的国家以及另一个不属于两个协约国的国家同时首次制作并出版发行的情况下，则为前一个国家;

　　(c)当一个制品同时在几个伯尔尼联盟国首次制作并出版发行，则为对该作品的版权规定了最短的保护期的国家;

　　(d)当一个未发行的或已制作并出版的制品，其作者为非伯尔尼联盟国或世界版权公约国的其他国家公民，或制品出版时作者居住在该国家，则为对其版权规定了较长的保护期的该国家。
