PROTECŢIA PROGRAMELOR PENTRU CALCULATOR ÎN UNIUNEA EUROPEANĂ
Abstract
Stemming from its strategic interest of promoting innovation through research and development
and especially the protection-for-dissemination of innovation-related intellectual property rights, the European Union
has constantly tried to balance the interests of software producers and thefreedoms necessary to researchers for
incremental innovation. The 1991 Directive for the protection of computer programs comes a long way into defining
the protection of computer programs as copyrightable subject matter and providing exceptions for
interoperability. The present article presents in short the main provisions of the Directive and sketches a longitudinal
approach in what its ulterior modlfications have brought insofar as to shed some light onto the EU9s perspective
regarding the aforementioned balance.
