The world has witnessed significant technological developments, with the digital environment andits circulating digital works constituting the core of this transformation. These advancements haveposed new challenges for legal doctrine and the judiciary, calling for their proper regulation. Theyhave also given rise to numerous contemporary legal issues, including the problem of determiningthe legal nature of intellectual property rights. Such rights are neither real rights, as the latterpertain to tangible objects while intellectual rights concern intangible ones, nor personal rights,since the latter represent a relationship between two persons, whereas intellectual rights are powersexercised over an intangible object. Moreover, they are not inherently attached to one’spersonality.
