L’auteur d'une œuvre, dite œuvre originale de l'esprit, jouit du simple fait de sa création, de prérogatives patrimoniales et extra patrimoniales. L’ensemble de ces prérogatives constitue le droit d'auteur ou la propriété littéraire et artistique. 2, record 1, French, - %26oelig%3Buvre%20originale
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
La jurisprudence considère qu'une œuvre est originale à la condition que cette dernière soit empreinte de la personnalité et de la sensibilité de son auteur. L'originalité de l'œuvre repose donc moins sur sa «nouveauté» que sur l'apport intellectuel de son auteur. 2, record 1, French, - %26oelig%3Buvre%20originale
