USLOVI ZA ZAŠTITU AUTORSKOG DELA U PRAVU SJEDINJENIH AMERIČKIH DRŽAVA
CONDITIONS FOR COPYRIGHT PROTECTION IN THE LAW OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Summary/Abstract: U radu su analizirani uslovi koje duhovna tvorevina mora ispuniti prema pravu Sjedinjenih Američkih Država da bi se smatrala autorskim delom. Osim osobenosti koje su rezultat anglosaksonskog koncepta autorskog prava, prisutne su i druge specifičnosti kao što je naročita, ustavom predviđena, svrha autorskog prava u promovisanju učenja, očuvanju javnog domena i zaštiti prava autora. Na osnovu odredaba saveznog Zakona o autorskom pravu (17 U.S.C) i primera iz sudske prakse, autor objašnjava kako se tumači originalnost dela, uslov da je delo otelotvoreno u materijalizovanom nosiocu i koje su tipične vrste autorskih dela. Pored toga ukazuje se na razlike u shvatanju autorstva, na promenjeni značaj registracije posle ratifikacije Bernske konvencije i na problem zaštite dela nepoznatih titulara prava, veoma važan i sa aspekta zaštite kulturnog nasleđa marginalizovanih grupa u američkom društvu.Rad ima za cilj da ukaže na sličnosti i razlike autorskog prava SAD i prava kontinentalnog pravnog sistema, kao što je pravo Republike Srbije, u pogledu uslova za zaštitu autorskih dela.This paper analyzes various conditions that one spiritual creation must provide in order to be considered an author’s work, according to the law of the United States of America. Apart from the peculiarities that are the result of the Anglo-Saxon concept of copyright, there are other specifics such as the special, constitutionally provided, purpose of copyright in promoting learning, preserving the public domain and protecting copyright. Based on the provisions of the Federal Copyright Act (17 U.S.C.) and examples from the case law, the author explains how the originality of a work is interpreted, how the condition that the work must embody in a materialized medium is regulated and what are the typical types of copyrighted works. In addition, the author explains the main differences when it comes to American Copyright system and how the concept of registration is viewed, after the ratification of the Bern Convention, which is one of the most common causes of the problem of protection of works whose right holders are unknown, which is extremely notable when speaking of the protection of cultural heritage of marginalized groups in American society. The paper aims to point out the similarities and differences between the copyright of the USA and the law of the continental legal system in terms of the conditions for the protection of copyright works.
