Based on both national (art. 6 para. 2 of Law 2121/1993) and international law (art. 5 para. 2 of the International Berne Convention), entitlement and exercise of author’s rights are not subject to any formality. Therefore, no formal procedure or the collaboration of a governmental or non-governmental is required for the recognition of author’s rights on a work, as is the case for the acquisition of rights on other intangible assets (e.g. registering a trademark).
Submitting a work to a notary provides evidence confirming the date, which can be evaluated by the Court in the event of legal proceedings on the violation of the rights on that work.
