Contrefaçon in French Copyright Law

Résumé : In French copyright law, contrefaçon consists of the infringement of any of author’s rights. As the only basis for a remedy for the violation of French droit d’auteur, contrefaçon originally lacked a broad scope. The expansion of contrefaçon is a relatively recent development which is now being challenged by the delinquency of the general public.
