Limitations on publication | No statutory rules, however, most internal HEIs’ regulations introduce the obligation for prior notification in order to avoid the risk of destroying the novelty requirement needed for patent procedure. Law on Copyright and Related Rights (in Article 14) provides that the priority of publication shall expire if within six months from the date of delivery of the work no publication contract has been made with the author or if, within two years from the date of its acceptance, the work has not been published. |
