TOO in Czechia

Hi. I came across Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Czech Republic#Threshold of originality and to be honest, I'm not quite smarter learning what it says:

The work must be "a unique outcome of the creative activity of the author".^{[121/2000–2006 Art.2(1)]} For photographs and computer programs, it suffices if the work "is original in the sense that it is the author’s own intellectual creation".^{[121/2000–2006 Art.2(2)]}

So how am I supposed to understand this statement? That there is no distinctive threshold of originality taken into consideration and if the work is officially registered in intelectual property of copyright holder, then copyright is therefore applicable? How does one determine if such work is even eligible for intelectual property? Don't you guys just love law clausules that basically tell nothing and therefore pose some issues regarding copyright protection?

Please, can someone enlighten me redargind this statement? Is it really saying something that could be somehow useful for determining copyright status of a work or is it just some general statement that hides the true meaning somewhere else?

Broken references

I noted that there are plenty of broken reference links (31). This probably happens due to the different referencing system, so when the country entry is transcluded by {{TOO Country}} the same cannot be said also for the corresponding references, grouped together with {{Reflist|refs=}}. --ZandDev (talk) 23:08, 13 November 2022 (UTC)

Infographic showing "GIMP"

The infographic claims that the GIMP in its distinctive type face is not protected by copyright anywhere. I am not expert on the UK law, but it has a special copyright for typography that we honor. I think that the distinctive type face is probably protected there. .     Jim . . . (Jameslwoodward) (talk to me) 15:05, 29 November 2022 (UTC)

Does this graph https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31809-9/fulltext#gr1 meet the threshold of originality? By browsing previous cases I would say no, but I'd like to know what other users think. Sette-quattro (talk) 13:45, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

TOO:Ukraine

In the page Commons:Copyright rules by territory/Ukraine maybe some new informations (e.g. COM:TOO Ukraine) could be added, reviewed and/or removed, given that at the beginning of this year a new copyright law entered into force, see:

EU threshold of originality

Hi all, I'm missing from this page the fact that the threshold of originality is harmonized within the European Union after the Infopaq ruling in the European Court of Justice. In the EU member states, there is thus little room left for national versions of threshold of originality. Eric Luth (WMSE) (talk) 13:08, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
