Abstract:
The first Portuguese Constitution emerged in 1822. There followed the so-called Liberal Wars between progressive constitutionalists and authoritarian absolutists over royal succession that lasted from 1828 to 1834. A Constitutional Charter was drafted in 1826, attempting to reconcile absolutists and liberals. The Constitutional Charter of 1826 gave inventors a «temporary exclusive Privilege» in their discoveries or productions (Constitutional Charter of 1826, art.145 s.24). It has been argued that such a principle was applicable to authors of literary and artistic works on the basis of «extensive or analogous interpretation» (L.F. Rebello, Introdução ao Direito de Autor, Lisbon, SPA/D. Quixote, 1994, p.35). By Patricia Akester
