Abstract

Anne Latournerie draws up a complete panorama of genesis and history of the french concept of copyright through the social and legal battles which took place of the antiquity until the big 1957’s law of setting demands of the authors against publishers and these against following reproductions She puts in evidence the permanent data of the question of intellectual property which forged the originality of a french copyright characterized with a dismemberment of the formes of appropriation in moral rights and patrimonial rights and with their limitation in the duration, with associated contractual forms
