Bently & M. Kretschmer, www.copyrighthistory.org Record Images Commentary Record-ID: f_1814 Full title Robin v. Romagnesi, Court of Cassation. 17 November 1814. Full title original language Robin C. Romagnesi, Cour de cassation. Du 17 novembre 1814. Abstract Article 1 of the law of July 1793 had decreed that the authors of writings of any kind, composers of music, painters, draughtsmen, and engravers were to enjoy an exclusive right to their productions. In the Robin v. Romagnesi case of 1814, the judges of first instance, followed by those of the Court of Cassation, were to interpret the provisions of the revolutionary legislation and the Code Pénal's articles on counterfeiting in the sense that these most certainly did protect works of sculpture, too. Moreover, as an early illustration of something that was to run through all French jurisprudence of the nineteenth century, the judges here also had to settle, as with literary subject matter, on a definition of the artistic work which was susceptible of enjoying the protection of the law. From this perspective, although it was established that the law of 1793 could and should protect a great variety of sculptures, including those of industrial character, carrying out a synthesis of the common criteria for such protection still proved a very delicate task indeed.
