The moral rights represent the legal expression of the relationship between the work
and its creator; they precede, survive and exert a permanent influence on the economic rights.
Moral rights are independent of economic rights, the author of a work preserving these rights
even after the transfer of its property rights.
The right to claim recognition as the author of the work, called in the doctrine as the
"right of paternity of the work" is enshrined in art. 10 lit. b) of the law and it is based on the
need to respect the natural connection between the author and his work. The right to
authorship is the most important prerogative that constitutes intellectual property rights in
general and consists of recognizing the true author of a scientific, literary or artistic work.
