Abstract

The webinar aims to briefly give an overview of the principles of copyright according to the Swiss Copyright Act with the help of concrete examples, especially what are the conditions for a work to be protected by copyright and related rights, what is the difference between the role of the author and that of the right holder, and which legal licenses, such as private use, educational purposes and quotation, does the law lay down. Moreover, a brief mention on how is the second publication right currently regulated in Switzerland and how can the author publish open access will be provided, after which there will be room for questions.

Goals

After the webinar participants should have enough knowledge about copyright to be more aware on how to generally manage copyrights, both when the participant creates a work (s/he is the author) and in case s/he uses someone else’s work.
