Summary/Abstract: Copyright and its legal protection have become the subject of legislative consideration only very late, mainly due to the absence of the technical means for multiplication, communication and dissemination of literary and artistic works. Because it was not possible to multiply the manuscripts of intellectual creations, they were being copied by hand, which was cumbersome and costly at the same time.The study provides an analysis of copyright protection in the Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance periods, as well as the first forms of protection after the invention of the printing press by Gutenberg.
