Citation: Gareis: Juridical Nature of Author's Rights (1877), Primary Sources on Copyright (1450-1900), eds L. Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: d_1877 Full title The Juridical Nature of Author's Rights, as well as of Tradename and Trademark Protection Full title original language Das juristische Wesen der Autorrechte, sowie des Firmen- und Markenschutzes Abstract Karl Gareis (1844-1923) is considered to be the first jurist to have presented a consistent theory of what in modern German law has developed to become the so-called "rights of personality" (Persönlichkeitsrechte), comprising what in U.S. law is called "personality rights", but also aspects of the right to privacy, the protection of personal information, protection against defamation and moral rights aspects embedded in copyright law. At the heart of what Gareis preferred to call "individual rights" (Individualrechte) is the "control of what is individual about oneself" (p. 199). Three levels are identified: "The human instinct to live, move freely, and do everything which makes life [...] individually as pleasant as possible", the "protection of a specific name which distinguishes the individual" and "that the individual be considered the author of a particular achievement and that, therefore, all (successful) consequences accruing to the author of this individual achievement really are channelled back to the individual concerned." The commentary traces the roots of Gareis's theory in German idealism and follows the development of the theory in German copyright law.
