TIS Territory Codes

Territory codes follow the CISAC Territory Information System (TIS). They appear in:

  • parties[].territories[].territory.include[] / exclude[] (collection scope)
  • parties[].relinquishment.scope.territories (PWR relinquishment)

Ownership (shareTypes[].type: "own") must use empty include and exclude arrays — not TIS-scoped. See Territories & Shares.

const lookupUrl =
  'https://d7ap24707c.execute-api.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/staging/api/v1/lookups/cwr_lookup_data_types_v1.0_r0.json';

const { sets } = await fetch(lookupUrl).then((r) => r.json());
const tisCodes = new Set(sets.tisNumericCodes);

console.log(tisCodes.size);
console.log(tisCodes.has('2136')); // World
