Protection for critical editions in German copyright law
I would like to confirm whether the text itself is also protected under the German law in a critical edition of an already published work whose standard copyright term has expired.
With an example, if I critically edited the poems of Homer in ancient Greek, would I be granted a new copyright protection under the German law for the text itself (not the different apparatus) with only a shorter 25 year term? Many thanks for your help. |
