Autorská

Autorská is a Czech adjective derived from autorský, used to express relation to authorship or to rights connected with authorship. It is commonly used to describe things that belong to authors, are created by authors, or are protected by copyright. In everyday language it appears in phrases such as autorská smlouva (author’s contract), autorská práva (copyright), autorská díla (copyrighted works), or autorská činnost (creative activity).

In legal context, autorská práva refer to the rights of authors to their works. These rights are typically divided into moral rights, which protect the author’s personality and attribution, and economic rights, which allow the author or copyright holder to control use of the work and to grant licenses. Czech copyright law (the relevant rules often summarized as autorské právo) governs the protection, duration, exploitation, and exceptions related to these rights, as well as procedures for licensing and infringement remedies.

Linguistically, autorská is the feminine singular form of the adjective describing a noun in feminine gender. It aligns with feminine nouns such as smlouva (contract) or činnost (activity). For neuter or masculine forms, other inflections are used (for example autorské dílo for a neuter noun). The base term autorský yields related forms such as autorské, autorská, and autorský zákon in various grammatical contexts.

Usage notes: autorská práva and autorské právo are often encountered in discussions of intellectual property, publishing, film, music, and software. See also autorské právo, práva duševního vlastnictví.
