In sweat-of-the-brow jurisdictions, though, it usually does.
- wtallis 8y agoAre there any jurisdictions that don't have any distinctions between types of intellectual property (eg. copyright, trademark, patent)? Because in one sense, what makes Oracle's claims so objectionable is that they're trying to assert copyright powers and duration over relatively patent-like subject matter (if you make a fairly simple analogy between software interfaces and mechanical interfaces).
- monocasa 8y agoLol, no. The UK and Germany are closer to sweat of the brow jurisdictions, but they explicitly don't grant copyrightablity to APIs.
