Droit d'auteur et droits connexes

Follow-Up to Question 14: Also, does this Chapter protect publication of works that are outside the scope of copyright (i.e., "not protected by copyright"), such as ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts? This may be a translation problem, but we remain unclear about whether/how non-copyrightable works are protected and why they would be protected here.

According to paragraph 2 of Article 1337 of the CC RF the rights of the publisher extend to works that, irrespective of the time of creation thereof, could be deemed objects of copyright in accordance with the rules of Article 1259 of the CC RF. In accordance with Article 1259 of the CC RF copyright does not extend to ideas, concepts, principles, methods, processes, systems, manners or the resolution of technical, organizational or other problems, inventions, facts, programming languages. Thus, ideas, procedures, methods of operation and mathematical concepts are not covered by Chapter 71 of the CC RF.
