The list of authors of animated movies enlarged

14 July 2022

Federal Law of July 14, 2022 amended Article 1263 of the Civil Code. Previously, the authors of audiovisual works were the production director, the scriptwriter and the composer of music. Other persons who made input in the audiovisual work, including the production designer had their own copyright but they did not have copyright for the work as a whole. Now, the law includes production designer in the list of the authors because in some cases he makes an even greater input in the work than other authors. His inclusion in the list of authors will endow him with more rights for earning compensation for his work.

Besides, production designer will also have non-material right, i.e. the right of authorship, the right for the name, the right for integrity of the work.

The new law will be applied only to animation movies created after July 24, 2022, i.e. 10 days after its official publication.
