Copyrights protect original works of authorship, such as literature, music, artistic works, and computer software. As the holder of a copyright, you have the exclusive right to reproduce, adapt, and distribute the work. A copyright exists from the moment the work is created, so registration is voluntary.
However, registered works may be eligible for statutory damages and attorney’s fees in a copyright infringement suit, so it is recommended that you register at your local Copyright Office. You can register your copyright online by completing an application, and sending in a non-returnable copy of your work.

Moral rights
1. Right of attribution
2. The right to have a work published anonymously or
pseudonymously
3. Right to the integrity of the work (bars the work from
alteration, distortion, or mutilation)
Anything else that may detract from the artist's relationship

Moral rights are inalienable.
!13
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_rights
14. 6. Legal basics
Economic rights
The economic rights are a property right which is limited
in time (70 years after the author’s death in Italy) and
which may be transferred by the author to other people.
They are intended to allow the author or their holder to
profit financially from his/her creation, and include the
right to authorize the reproduction of the work in any
form.
The authors of dramatic works (plays, etc.) also have the
right to authorize the public performance of their works.

15. 6. Legal basics
Copyleft
It allows for rights to distribute copies and modified
versions of a work, and requires that the same rights are
preserved in modified versions of the work.
Copyleft is a general method for making a work free
(libre), and requiring all modified and extended versions
of the work to be free as well.
This free does not necessarily mean free of cost, but free
as in freely available to be used, distributed or modified.
!15
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft
16. 6. Legal basics
Copyleft Vs Copyright
Copyright law is usually used to prohibit others from
reproducing, adapting, or distributing copies of the
author's work.
Under copyleft an author may give every person who
receives a copy of a work permission to reproduce, adapt
or distribute it and require that any resulting copies or
adaptations are also bound by the same licensing
agreement.

!20
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark
22. 6. Legal basics
Trademarks
The law considers a trademark to be a form of property.

!22
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trademark
23. 6. Legal basics

26. 6. Legal basics
Patent
A patent consists of a set of exclusive rights granted by a
sovereign state to an inventor or their assignee for a
limited period of time, in exchange for the public
disclosure of the invention.
An invention is a solution to a specific technological
problem, and may be a product or a process.
The exclusive right granted to a patentee in most
countries is the right to prevent others from making,
using, selling, or distributing the patented invention
without permission.
!26
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patent
27. 6. Legal basics
Types of patents in Italy
Invention patent: it’s the stronger and higher form of protection,
used for technological innovation in products, processes or
solutions (including new vegetables varieties). 20 years, non
renovable!
Utility model: A weaker patent, easier to obtain but harder to
defend. Limited to products and physical objects. It’s used for
inventions that improve on existing products. It protects the form,
too, provided that thare is a provable enanchement in functions. 10
years, non renovable!
Tip: Italian law - art. 84 CPI - allows to request both patents for the
same invention, leaving the choice of the most fitting to the patent
office.
!27
http://ufficiobrevetti.it/en/patents/
28. 6. Legal basics
Types of patents in Italy
Model or design registration (not properly a patent): it’s
the weaker and most limited patent, providing basic
protection to form, colors and design of a specific model
of product.
It’s extremely easy to apply, up to 100 variants of the
same design can be deposited with a single instance.
This is mostly used in fashion, design and styling
business, allows for quick prosecution of fakes.
25 years, taxes could be payed in installments.

30. 6. Legal basics
Filing a patent
A prototype is not needed, a thorough description with detailed drawings is enough.
Requirements:
• Novelty (never patented before, anywhere).
• Originality (non obvious, different from current state of art).
• Industrial Applicability (no arts & crafts, must be reproduced industrially).
• Legality (must not offend morality, break law and impair order)!
To maintain validity, a patent MUST BE REALIZES WITHIN 3 YEARS FROM
REGISTRATION (or 4 years from application). Since 1 jan 2006 filing a patent is FREE
from fees. Some costs could arise in order to provide the required documentations, a
free cost assessment could be requested on Ufficio Brevetti’s website.
