Code de la propriété intellectuelle

The "Code de la propriété intellectuelle" is a French legal framework that protects creations of the mind, such as inventions, literary and artistic works, trademarks, and designs. It grants creators exclusive rights to control how their work is used, shared, or sold, encouraging innovation and creativity. The law balances the interests of creators and the public by establishing rules for obtaining these rights, maintaining their duration, and preventing unauthorized use. Essentially, it helps ensure that inventors, artists, and businesses can benefit financially from their work while promoting ongoing cultural and technological development.
