Summary/Abstract: The protection granted to computer programs by copyright has been the subject of numerous studies and cases both domestically as well as internationally. Regardless of their literary or scientific nature, it is certain that, according to Directive no. 91/250/CEE and Law no. 8/1996, computer programs are "works" and, by way of consequence, to the extent that the internal and international regulations intended expressis verbis for their protection do not provide, the norms devoted to works, in general, are incidental. As a result, the author of the computer program benefits (appropriately) from the moral and patrimonial rights.
