As a result of the [[United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement]] drafted in 2018, upon its implementation the copyright term for some copyright works may be extended to:

:* in the case of the life of a natural person, 70 years {{abbr|p.m.a.|from the calendar year of death}};
:* on the basis of other than such life, not less than 75 years {{abbr|p.d.|from the calendar year of publication}}, or (if not published within 25 years of creation) not less than 70 years {{abbr|p.r.|from the calendar year of creation}}
