Abstract
This chapter considers the three requirements for copyright and related rights to subsist—the existence of a subject matter of protectable type that is sufficiently connected to the territory of the protecting state and that satisfies any applicable formalities—the combination of international and EU legal sources by which they have been harmonized for EU Member States, and the beneficiaries of the resulting copyright and related rights protection.
