Internationaler Gewerblicher Rechtsschutz und Urheberrecht II

Teil 1 - Introduction



The US Copyright Law is nearly as old as the USA itself. The requirement for author’s protection was established in the Constitutionfrom 1787 (Copyright Clause):

The Congress shall have Power [. . .] To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” (Art. I, Sec. 8, Clause 8 US Constitution)

Immigrants from England brought the ideas of the Statute of Anne (1710) with them: the author shall be owner of the exclusive right to copyright for a limited time (14 years), not the stationers (Verleger) as before. But the Statute of Anne regulated only singular copyright issues and only in respect of literary works; the most copyright questions remained for court’s decisions. Therefore the
copyright in England had a strong common law influence although there had been early regulation. In 1790, the USA also implemented a copyright law that was extremely similar to the spirit of the Statute of Anne in promoting education and learning. The written US copyright law also restraint its application to literary works. Thus, the common law impactremained strong until the
Copyright Act from 1976 (17 U.S.C.) which brought the US Copyright Law to a nearly modern level.
