Abstract

The ensuing analysis regards the problematic of assigning authorship and first ownership of the copyright in a work created under the exceptional circumstances of article 14 of Código de Direito do Autor e de Direitos Conexos e.g employment contracts and commission contracts. Given the legal uncertainty triggered by the previously stated norm and since its comprehension lies within the philosophical foundation (creators doctrine) of the legal system in which the Portuguese legal framework is inserted we have performed a systematic, comparative and dogmatic analysis. We emphasize the relevance of said problematic not only due to its divergent doctrinal interpretation but given the two lines of thought that it entails. On the one hand there is the question related to the ownership of both moral and material rights, on the other hand the hypothetical subversion of the Portuguese copyright legal principles. Consequently, our main goal is to clarify the spirit of the law, demonstrating its weaknesses and contradictions and highlighting the reasons why article 14 of Código de Direito do Autor e de Direitos Conexos shall not be deemed as an exception to the creators doctrine.
