167 SUMMARY When a software is developed and copied to floppy diskette, magnetic tape and ROM, an intellectual property rights occurs apart from the right of property. Intellectual property rights on software are divided into two groups. First is moral rights that protect the software developer's personnel interests. Second is the financial rights that utilize the owner of software economically, these rights are absolute and exclusively. According to Turkish Copyrights Act, in order to protect intellectual creations, it must be classified as work. Turkish Copyrights Act was amended with the enactment of Law No.4110, effective June 12, 1995. This Amendment adds computer software to the category of scientific and literary works in article 1 of Copyrights Act. In addition to this, to have a copyright protection for softwares, it must be originally created by it's owner. But, absolute originality is not sought for the legal protection, it is sufficient to be created by a worthy effort and not to be copied from any other softwares. The intellectual right on softwares occur automatically as the software develops. In Copyright Act, registration of softwares is not possible, but an exception can be given as an example, that is" The Law of Cinema, Video and Music Works." According to this law, softwares which reproduce the, motional and vocalic display, like video games, are able to be registered to the Ministry of Culture. Copyright law obtain protection to expression of software which is fixed in a tangible medium. The ideas underlying the software exclude copyright protection. Therefore, some elements of a software, such as program flow, source and object code and audiovisual feature of user interface are in the scope of Copyright Act. Other elements, which are algorithms and functional168 features of user interface are not able to utilize copyright protection Ministry of Culture. Turkish Patent Act was revised June 24, 1995 to harmonize Articles 52/1-3 of European Patent Convention, which excludes softwares as patentable inventions. In my opinion, this provision must be narrowly interpreted as recent EPO case law and algorithms in technical character may be granted patent. Really, because of the reason that algorithm contains process, it is able to satisfy prerequisites that has industrial application and to be a new invention are sought by Turkish Patent Act. In addition to this when a software-related invention, which are component of icchnical process or machinery, are accepted patentable, an indirect patent protection may be provided. Unfair competition law protection for softwares may become possible if it is not able to provide patent or copyright protection. As economic competition which prerequisite for this protection, is interpreted to mean that the competitors are in the same market, it cannot be invoked against competing customer or other third parties using the software. Here originality is not necessary, beside, worthy commercial successes of software suffices for the protection.
