Urheberpersönlichkeitsrechte

This study deals with moral rights of authors and pursues two objectives. On one hand, it aims to contribute to globalization research in legal science by demonstrating, through a comprehensive comparative-evolutionary analysis, how these rights have developed and why they have been adopted worldwide in a specific doctrinal form. On the other hand, it seeks to present, critically examine, and clarify the key conceptual disputes regarding the statutory regulation of moral rights of authors in Switzerland, which has been in effect for twenty years. The work is aimed equally at scholars and practitioners who wish to gain an informed understanding of one of the most complex legal institutions in copyright law.
