Article L111-1, Modified by Law n°2006-961 of August 1, 2006 – art. 31 JORF August 3, 2006

The author of a work of the mind enjoys, by the sole fact of its creation, an exclusive intangible property right enforceable against all.

This right comprises attributes of an intellectual and moral nature as well as attributes of an economic nature, which are determined by Books I and III of the present code.

The existence or conclusion of a contract for the hire of work or services by the author of a work of the mind does not entail derogation from the enjoyment of the right recognized by the first paragraph, subject to the exceptions provided for by the present code. Subject to the same reservations, the enjoyment of this same right is also unaffected when the author of the work of the mind is an employee of the State, a local authority, a public administrative establishment, an independent administrative authority with legal personality or the Banque de France.

The provisions of articles L. 121-7-1 and L. 131-3-1 to L. 131-3-3 do not apply to agents who are authors of works whose disclosure is not subject, by virtue of their status or the rules governing their functions, to any prior control by the hierarchical authority.
