    Study Notes

    German Copyright Law and Co-Authorship

    • The German Copyright Act (GCA) applies to works created as part of an employment or service relationship, unless stated otherwise.
    • Authors have the right to be identified as the creators of their work, and the person designated as the author on copies is presumed to be the author.
    • Joint authorship occurs when authors' shares cannot be economically exploited separately, leading to a single copyright for the work.
    • Co-authors have legal rights to jointly exercise commercial rights, while moral rights protect the author's personal relationship to the work.
    • Copyright in Germany encompasses both moral rights and exploitation rights, with no one being more important than the other.
    • Moral rights, recognized in Germany since 1912 and codified in the GCA in 1965, protect the intellectual bond between authors and their work.
    • The moral right expires 70 years after the author's death, and authors have the right to determine the publication and recognition of their work.
    • The right of publication allows authors to determine whether and how their work is to be published.
    • The right of recognition of authorship enables authors to be identified as the creators of their work and to determine the designation of authorship.
    • These rights are negative, allowing authors to prevent unwanted publication and defend against false attribution.
    • The GCA provides for joint authorship and the exercise of commercial rights while safeguarding authors' moral rights and their relationship with their work.
    • The Act also ensures equitable remuneration for the use of the work, and personality rights are considered a fundamental right, distinct from transferable exploitation rights.
