On copyright and related rights (LRU-42-son) · Date: 20.07.2006 · In force
The right of authorship to a draft official document, symbol, or mark shall belong to the person who created the draft (the developer).
The developer of a draft official document, symbol, or mark shall have the right to publish such a draft, if it is not prohibited by the authority on whose instructions the draft was developed. When publishing a draft, the developer shall be entitled to specify own name.
A draft official document, symbol, or mark may be used by a competent authority for the preparation of an official document without the consent of the developer, if the draft has been published by him/her or has been sent to the relevant authority.
When an official document, symbol, or mark is prepared on the basis of a draft, it may be amended and supplemented at the discretion of the authority, which prepares the official document, symbol, or mark.
Upon adoption (approval) by a competent authority of an official document, symbol, or mark on the basis of a draft, the document, symbol, or mark shall be used without indicating the name of the developer of the draft.
