- Estado
- final preliminary ruling
- Resultado
- Preliminary questions answered; application and final disposition returned to the referring national court.
- Resumen
- It may be a work if the editor's free and creative choices reflect personality and the subject matter is identifiable. Skill alone is irrelevant; the public-domain original remains public and protection does not confer exclusivity over it.
- Antecedentes
- A Romanian critical edition restored a public-domain Latin manuscript with corrections, additions, comments and critical apparatus; the edition was reproduced while its editor was credited only in footnotes.
- Historia procesal
- National litigation generated a preliminary reference; the CJEU answered the referred EU-law questions in the cited judgment.
- Cuestión jurídica
- Can a critical edition restoring public-domain text be a work, and how are constrained scholarly choices and protected scope assessed?
- Criterio
- It may be a work if the editor's free and creative choices reflect personality and the subject matter is identifiable. Skill alone is irrelevant; the public-domain original remains public and protection does not confer exclusivity over it.
- Fundamento decisivo
- Choices in words, sequence, combination, composition and critical apparatus can qualify when not dictated by purely technical rules or constraints. Protection attaches to original expression without privatizing the source.
- Límites
- Human scholarly editing, not AI. It supports limited protection of identifiable human transformation of pre-existing/generated material but does not decide GenAI output authorship.
- Relevancia
- doctrina-general
- Referencias relacionadas
- Peso del precedente
- Binding interpretation of harmonized EU law for Croatian courts within the interpreted field; supranational, not Croatian national case law. Integración/votación: First Chamber; CJEU judgments publish no individual dissent.
