Multiscale cancer modelling in terms of copyright

verfasst von

Iryna Lishchuk, Marc Stauch

Abstract

Multiscale cancer modelling is a complex process, which requires interdisciplinary effort. Simulation of tumor progression across multiple scales by computer models is a challenge for scientists, and determining applicable legal protection is a challenge for lawyers. Insofar as a computer model is defined as a computer program, software copyright comes into play. At this stage several questions arise: What elements in computer modelling are copyrightable? Is the modelling work protected? What about copyright in a hypermodel design? The intellectual effort and investment deployed into the modelling have been tested against the requirements of copyright. In fact, various elements in cancer modelling, which express original creative input, qualify as copyright works and are protected as such.
