НЯКОИ ПАРАЛЕЛИ МЕЖДУ ПРАВАТА НА ИНТЕЛЕКТУАЛНА СОБСТВЕНОСТ В РИМСКОТО И В СЪВРЕМЕННОТО ПРАВО, ПО-СПЕЦИАЛНО ОТНОСНО АВТОРСКОТО ПРАВО И ПРАВОТО НА ТЪРГОВСКА МАРКА
SOME PARALLELS BETWEEN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS IN ROMAN AND CONTEMPORARY LAW, IN PARTICULAR IN COPYRIGHT AND TRADE MARKS

Summary/Abstract: As its subject matter of analysis the paper covers intellectual property rights or their respective objects of protection, as they are legally treated in Roman and contemporary law. Starting from the assumption that Roman law did not know of an objectively approached regulation of intellectual property rights in today's sense, initially identified are the main approaches of Roman law to the legal protection of what today are considered as objects of protection of intellectual property rights. Further, the paper proceeds to identify the specific legal institutes which have probably been applied in relation to the legal protection of what is today considered as a copyright and a trademark. The authors conclude that the sources of Roman law give grounds to conclude that awareness and functional equivalents existed in ancient Rome when the legal protection of copyright and trademarks is concerned.
