  • Thresholds in Copyright Law ‐ Abrieved Version ‐
    Thresholds in copyright law ‐ Abrieved version ‐ by Hans Jonkhout Marree en Dijxhoorn Advocaten Amersfoort, NL Introduction In Dutch jurisprudence recently the High Court had to decide on a very extraordinary and peculiar case, which in three court instances (inclusive High Court) lead to a fundamental and extremely complicated discussion on the very question: what is actually protected by copyright and what is not? About this startling case later. What is protected by copyright law and what is not? The Berne Convention tells us. Protected by copyright are original works of art, literature or science. But then the question is which works are works of art, literature or science, and which works are not? Or in fact more elementary: what is a work? Are there any other works, than works of art, literature or science at all? Is in fact anything made by man, whether physically present, digital or ephemere a work or art, literature or science? In some jurisdictions this last question is answered by a definite “no”. In other this last question is answered no that clear. Jurisprudence in almost all jurisdictions of the first kind has developed certain criteria to make out if a work is eligible for copyright protection or not. Clearly in Germany courts have developed certain threshold criteria. So have courts in for instance UK, France, the USA, Russia and The Netherlands. These threshold criteria seem to vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In Germany criteria tend to be more of a qualitative nature. In Anglo‐Saxon jurisdictions there criteria tend to be more an assessment of statistical novelty.
