Copyright protection of scientific publications - the international perspective

Summary/Abstract: It is sufficient that the nature of only one of the necessary components of a work be creative for the work to be considered as subject to protection by copyrights. Such distinguishing components include the choice of arguments in the inference carried out in a publication or the structural plan of the work in question.A scientific work is an intangible legal interest, as it exists independently of the tangible object on which it is recorded and through which it can be explored.The subject of protection is not only scientific works in their final form, but also those existing in an unfinished form, such as plans, drawings, designs, etc.Only those persons who made a creative contribution to the creation of the work can be considered as its co-authors. In contrast, those who organized the work of the creator or financed the project, or whose cooperation was of an auxiliary nature may not be considered as co-authors of the work. Nonetheless, author’s economic rights (e.g., the right to reproduce the work and market it) may be transferred to them.
