| Popis | This paper explores the requirement of „sufficient precision and objectivity“ for copyright protection in the EU. It emphasizes the importance of this requirement for legal clarity and delineates its two primary functions: safeguarding against overly subjective elements and enabling clear identification of protected subject matter. While originality remains vital in copyright, the paper focuses on the objectivity of expression. The paper discusses a case involving bullfighting in Spain, where a toreador’s performance sought copyright protection but was rejected by the Spanish Supreme Court. The court emphasized the need for the work to reflect the author‘s personality and be objectively identifiable. It underscores that the requirement for sufficient precision and objectivity primarily pertains to expression, not the issue of originality. In conclusion, the paper highlights the importance of the „sufficient precision and objectivity“ requirement in copyright law, clarifying protection boundaries and excluding highly subjective expressions, promoting clarity in intellectual property rights for creators and businesses. |
