Intellectual property protection solution

Protecting creative work is an ethical and economic issue for creators

In the event of a dispute, an author who wants to claim ownership of a work of the mind or a literary or artistic work has to provide proof of the date of its creation. It is therefore essential, in order to protect against the different forms of plagiarism and infringements, to register and obtain copyright or patent this creative work as soon as it is created and before any disclosure.

Copyright consists of establishing evidentiary proof of the link between the date of registration (by a third party, a probative “witness”), the identity of the person who registered and the actual creative work.

Established creative protection rights will permit the author to authorize or prohibit the use of their work, to oppose their distribution, if it has been made without consent, to demand compensation (royalty, copyright, license…) or to exercise their rights in court.

Legislation and protection of creative work

The protection of work is regulated:

  • by the Intellectual Property Code (Book III) which defines the rules and sanctions relating to copyright (“copyright invention of the mind” and “copyright literary/artistic work”)
  • by case law related to cultural developments and the emergence of new technologies (host’s rights and responsibilities, formalization of Internet observations, trademark law on the Adwords network, etc.)
  • by the Berne Convention and its related texts, with regard to the protection of creative work internationally.

Concerning the territorial status, protecting creative work abroad before its first disclosure is a matter of local law. This could make the recognition of copyright conditional on the completion of prior formalities which would then have to be respected (Berne Convention, as revised, Article 3).

Frequently asked questions

Which right protects a work of the mind?

The first right to protect a work of the mind is copyright. It protects original literary, artistic, musical or software creations from the moment they are created, without any particular formalities.

What does it mean to protect a work of the mind?

Protecting a work of the mind means ensuring that the original creation is neither copied nor exploited without the author’s authorization. This includes moral rights (respect for the integrity of the work) and economic rights (economic exploitation). This protection may involve a formality to provide proof of this right.

How to register and protect an intellectual work?

To protect this right, it is advisable to register the work (e.g. copyright registration, bailiff’s envelope, FIDEALIS, which combines all methods) in order to prove authorship and the date of creation in the event of a dispute.

Does copyright protect ideas?

No, the law that protects a work of the mind does not protect the ideas themselves, but only their original, concrete expression in the form of a work. When you have an idea, develop this idea in organized form, with a plan, and then it’s possible to protect an “ex-idea” that has become a project, a plan, a scenario.

What types of works are covered by this right?

All human works are first and foremost works of the mind. Some works can be specified (trademarks, patents, etc.), while others remain works of the mind, as distinguished by PLA (Literary and Artistic Property), which covers literary, musical, artistic, photographic and software works, and all original creations of the mind.
