Leclerc C. Villeprend et Brunet, Cour de Cassation. Du 2 décembre 1814.

Abstract:
On 2 December, 1814, the Court of Cassation, in view of the terseness of the seven articles that made up the legislation of 1793, was to make a positive pronouncement on the principle underpinning the protection of compilations, works of this type having still in theory to be the product of a conception proper to the author in order to be considered as 'new' literary works. The judges of the supreme court thus undertook the difficult task of identifying once and for all the object of the most 'sacred' right of property, the protection of which was at the same time required to apply legally to writings 'of any kind'.
