Protection is possible only insofar as technical considerations did not leave the author unable to reflect personality through free and creative choices.
Antecedentes
A folding bicycle shape was claimed as a copyright work despite technical-functional constraints.

Can technically dictated subject matter be original?
Criterio
Protection is possible only insofar as technical considerations did not leave the author unable to reflect personality through free and creative choices.
