usd system inc. of Montreal advocates the use of copyright, rather than patent to protect the rights of inventors.

“As with the

industrial design or model, the

inventor who paid the costs of

patenting acquires a monopolistic

right to develop nationally for a

limited period of time the product

of his innovating concept, and to extend such development

abroad.”

“On the other hand, the Author

enjoys free of charge a natural

Right of exclusive, incorporeal

and universal property on his

work of the mind for his lifetime

plus fifty years after his death.”
