The rights mentioned in the previous article are extended, in addition, for a period of thirty years when the author, composer or artist has died for France, as shown by the death certificate.
In the event that the death certificate must neither be drawn up nor transcribed in France, an order of the minister responsible for culture may extend the benefit of the additional thirty-year extension to the heirs or other successors in title of the deceased; this order, made after obtaining the opinion of the authorities referred to in l’article 1er de l’ordonnance n° 45-2717 du 2 novembre 1945, may only intervene in cases where the mention “died for France” should have appeared on the death certificate if it had been drawn up in France.
