On February 14, 2007, the Paris Court of Appeal decided that fragrances could benefit from copyright protection and thus overturned the June 13, 2006 Decision of the Supreme Court.
The decision was based on the fact that fragrance is the result of an artistic search and does not need to be fixed in a tangible form of expression. Therefore, the creative effort alone could benefit from copyright law. We will keep you informed of case developments to see if this movement against the Supreme Court decision is confirmed.
