Reprinting Provisions of the Baden Civil Code

Landrecht des Großherzogthums Baden

Abstract
The Baden Statute Book, first published in 1809, was in force for the Grand Duchy of Baden from 1 January 1810 onwards until the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch) was enacted on 1 January 1900. The Duchy's legislation was based on the French Napoleonic Code (Code Civil) of 1804 and on a separate 1806 copyright provision for Baden. The Code Civil did not contain copyright provisions, since in French law copyright was covered by separate codifications. In the Baden Statute Book copyright provisions were added to the chapter on property. The Baden copyright provision of 1806 and the Baden Statute Book of 1808 were the first copyright provisions within the German lands to calculate a copyright term from the life of the author.
This commentary focuses on the Baden provisions of 1806 and 1809 and on the Margrave of Baden's tacit connivance in the biggest reprinting enterprise of late-eighteenth-century Germany.
