Canon 666 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches as aprovision containing norms of intellectual property law

Canon 666 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches is considered to be a provision that fills a 'gap' in the legal system of the Latin Church regarding the regulation of copyright law. The interpretation of the provision in question suggests that the scope of application of the norms contained therein is broader and by no means refers exclusively to the matter of copyright law. Canon 666 of the Code of Canons of the Eastern Churches concerns intellectual property in general. As such, this provision contains a regulation of significant importance for the recognition of the legal protection of intellectual property objects under canon law.
