originality-in-european-copyright-joris-deene
a skill that determines whether a given subject matter qualifies for copyright protection under EU law by applying the Cofemel two-step test (concept of work + originality), grounded in fifteen CJEU judgments (including the most recent Mio/Konektra and Calinescu) and the four EU directive provisions on originality. It argues from one of two positions: pro-rightsholder (establishing that the work is original) or pro-alleged-infringer (contesting work status or originality via the four exclusion grounds — technical function, rule-dictated outcome, sweat of the brow, idea/functionality).

# Skill: Originality and Concept of Work in European Copyright (CJEU) ## Purpose To build a methodical analysis of the question whether a concrete object (text, photograph, software, database, utilitarian article, sound recording, design, …) is **protected by copyright** under EU law, based on the case law of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Integrates the **EU statutory harmonization framework for originality**: verbatim citations of the four directive provisions that explicitly address originality: > > - **Art. 1(3) Directive 2009/24/EC** (computer programs — *"author's own intellectual creation"* + *"no other criteria"*) > - **Art. 3(1) Directive 96/9/EC** (databases — *"author's own intellectual creation"* by *"selection or arrangement"* + *"no other criteria"*) > - **Art. 6 Directive 2006/116/EC** (photographs — *"author's own intellectual creation"* + *"no other criteria"* + op

Where does this skill come from?
From lawve-ai/awesome-legal-skills, a repository with 618 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
