Literary expert association

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Literary Expert Associations (historical notation: Litterarischer Expert Association , also Königlich Prussischer Litterarischer Expert Association , Literary Expert Chamber ) were institutions for the assessment of copyright infringements .

The first expert association was founded in Prussia in 1837 . He was an expert in the field of book production . He was sued by the courts in copyright lawsuits in cases where "doubts arose in the lawsuits as to whether the fact of reprinting , unauthorized copying or unauthorized reproduction existed, or what amount of compensation was to be granted to the injured party". This expert association consisted of seven members who came "from the various professions that were of major interest in the area of ​​reprinting legislation". In the Kingdom of Saxony and the Grand Duchy of Saxony-Weimar , similar expert committees were also formed shortly afterwards.

With the foundation of the German Empire in 1870, this system was adopted for the entire German Empire. In addition, musical, artistic, commercial and photographic expert associations were established.
