Copyright Formalities in Spain: Registration. Certificates

Full title original language:
Certificado de Registro expedido por el Ministerio de Fomento

Abstract:
In order to give effect to the 1847 Literary Property Act, numbered certificates were issued to confirm that an applicant had submitted two copies to the corresponding ministerial authority. The certificates described the property and noted its “other circumstances,” such as pages, publishing date, and authorship. In our attempt to trace different artefacts related to the history of copyright in Spain, we have included here one of the last certificates issued before the enactment of the Spanish Copyright Act (1879).

Commentary: No commentaries for this record.
