Abstract:
Abstract — In silico hyper-modelling is a complex process which requires interdisciplinary effort. Hyper-modelling 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 hyper-model design? In this paper, we seek to suggest answers to these questions. In particular, we investigate the scope of copyright, the requirements for protection, and what elements may be subject to copyright in the context of cancer modelling.
