Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: d_1880 Full title Author's Right Full title original language Das Autorrecht, eine zivilistische Abhandlung Abstract "The Author's Right" (1880) is the first of three major works on copyright by Josef Kohler (1849-1919), who also published groundbreaking books on the law of patents, industrial designs and trademarks. Kohler had a good overview of worldwide developments in intellectual property law, ranging from the national legislation of Argentina, Ecuador or Chile to the latest judicial decisions by the courts in France and the United States. It was he who established the concept of 'rights for immaterial goods' (Immaterialgüterrechte), comprising copyrights, patents, trademarks, design rights (Geschmacksmuster), and rights for utility models (Gebrauchsmuster). Kohler's theory of 'rights for immaterial goods' (Immaterialgüterrechte) provided a solution to the hitherto unsuccessful attempts to anchor authors' rights as 'intellectual property' within the general concept of property. As a consequence of the German jurists' strict adherence to Roman law concepts, a true property could neither be extended to immaterial objects nor be terminated. This commentary will concentrate on Kohler's theory of rights to immaterial goods (Immaterialgüterrechte). Bibliography Adrian, J.
