Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: f_1793 Full title Decree of the National Convention, of 19 July 1793, regarding the property rights of authors to writings of all kinds, of composers of music, of painters and illustrators (with the report of Lakanal) Full title original language Décret de la Convention Nationale du dix-neuf juillet 1793 relatif aux droits de propriété des Auteurs d'écrits en tout genre, des Compositeurs de musique, des Peintres et des Dessinateurs (avec le rapport de Lakanal) Abstract The Decree of 19-24 July 1793, probably the most famous of the French legislative sources for intellectual property, confirmed the recognition of the literary and artistic property right, secured from now on by national law. In spite of its mere 7 articles, it was to have a very exceptional longevity, framing the matter throughout 19th century. However, it was voted upon by the National Assembly without any specific debates and in any case managed to establish, for better or for worse, a precarious balance, often discussed throughout 19th century, between the interest of the individual and the interest of the public.
