Prof Dr Christian Donle, attorney at Preu Bohlig & Partner, Berlin
Byby Prof Dr Christian DonleOn December 1st, 2009 the Treaty of Lisbon became valid as the basic EU set of rules. Remarkably, the Treaty of Lisbon contains a Charter of Human Rights compulsory for all Member States of the European Union and all national or European Courts.
Among this Charter of Human Rights Art. 17 protects the right to property. Everyone has the right, to own, use and dispose of his or her possessions. No one maybe deprived of his or her possessions except in the public interest.
According to Art. 17 (2) “intellectual property shall be protected.”
This is the first time in the European history, that intellectual property is explicitly protected by a human rights charter.

The artist Christo has once again taken legal action against a picture library and won. The Berlin District Court decided on 27 September 2011 to stop a picture agency from distributing photographs of the works created by Christo and his late wife Jeanne-Claude.
The German Association of picture agencies, BVPA, asked copyright attorney Professor Dr Christian Donle for a statement on this judgement:
The wrapped Reichstag and the freedom of panoramic views
According to press releases, the Berlin District Court has pronounced an injunction against a picture agency. They have also been asked to provide information and have been condemned to pay damages because the agency distributed photographs of the wrapped Reichstag. The images had been taken by a photographer – not Christo himself.
