What is is literary and artistic property?<\/strong>
<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\n\n

Literary and artistic property, another branch of intellectual property along with industrial property, applies to works of the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Literary and artistic property includes both copyright and related rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, literary and artistic property allows for the protection of works of the mind which are forms of creation that are considered original as  they express the personality of their author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The author of a work of the mind benefits from a protection on this last one and for this purpose, indeed the copyright confers him patrimonial and extrapatrimonial rights which allow him to protect himself against a counterfeit of his work and in particular a literary plagiarism or an artistic plagiarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the author is granted the following rights:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Property rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They allow the author to decide on the conditions of exploitation of his work and in particular the following classical prerogatives:
\u2013 The right of reproduction;
\u2013 The right of representation;
\u2013 The right of resale.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Extrapatrimonial rights<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

They allow the author to defend his personality and in particular :
\u2013 The right of disclosure;
\u2013 The right of withdrawal;
\u2013 The right to the respect of the name and its quality (authorship of the work);
– The right to respect of the work<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How to\u00a0protect a literary and artistic work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n\n

Unlike industrial property, where rights are protected by filing with the relevant offices, literary and artistic works are not subject to any formalities in France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, a literary and artistic work is protectable as soon as it is created and only because of this creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, not all creations are subject to copyright and ideas are not appropriable and are therefore free to be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, in order to be protected and to invoke rights against a third party, the author must prove not only the originality of the work, but also the ownership of his rights on the work, by proving the creation and the date of creation of the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is therefore strongly advised in the field of literary and artistic property to always proceed with a probationary deposit which will allow, if need be, within the framework of an infringement action, to prove that the author has indeed created the work at a precise date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, it is recommended to call upon lawyers or advisors in literary and artistic property to organize the transfer of rights between the authors and the companies that exploit the works, in particular, in order to organize the transfer of the copyrights of the employees and of the copyrights of the freelancers who work with the company from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bouchara & Avocats and its lawyers specialized in literary and artistic property assist and advise you in the protection of your literary and artistic works and in litigation in literary and artistic property.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Typology of literary and artistic property
<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n\n

Copyright protects creations on the condition that they are original, regardless of their genre, form of expression, merit and purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, many forms can be protected under copyright, subject to originality, and in particular :<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
