Full title:
Spanish Copyright Act

Full title original language:
Ley de Propiedad Intelectual

Abstract:
Modern Spanish copyright law is based on the crucial enactment of the 1879 copyright law. This act was the most important legislative event in the history of Spanish copyright historiography. Not only was it comprehensive and modern for its time; its importance and credit were acquired over a long period, as it lasted for more than one century.
