Direitos autorais e gastronomia: um estudo exploratório

Abstract

The present paper aims to understand how the Act 9.610/98 can be applied to gastronomic inventions, based on the theoretical reference of Zenon Bankowski, in his book "Living Lawfully". The methodological measures utilized are duty and aspiration when applied to the specific legislation. Data are collected according to the rules of inference (so as to explore whether gastronomy can be considered an art protected by the Act n. 9610/98) and the singlecase study experiment (in order to detect how the precedent deals with the issue). Finally, it may be inferred that new data have to be collected to verify if the Act n. 9610/98 is applicable to gastronomical works of art.
