<DIV>Wrong. Wrong because article 429 states that "<I>in cases not considered

<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>Aah: this is just about
property, not about intellectual property. It is (as I explained before) about
the interface between aopyright etc. and private law. Such a provision moreor

works that can be created by any means</I>"-<BR>- Berne Convention was created

the connection (by its article 429) with the 1879 law<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#ff0000 size=2>That simply means that in
Spanish law "intellectual property law" is a synonym for author's law (aka
copyright law - but that is more the Anglo-Saxon concept). The fact that this
statute precedes the Berne convention is immaterial because the wordings are
the same anyway. Perhaps the Spanish inspired the Berne
convention. </FONT></DIV><FONT face="Comic Sans MS"
