pynch,

Article 29.3 of the Swiss Copyright Act seems to imply that after the protection term there is no other protection possibilities. (BTW, I think that copyright protection for critical editions is a possibility in EU law, but only implemented by Germany and Slovenia [I mean, even in the EU is an exception rather than a rule].)

But I’m not a lawyer (I cannot pretend to be one) and German isn’t my mother tongue.

How about asking about this to the Swiss Copyright Office?

Many thanks for your excellent work.
