<\/strong>The article is devoted to a comprehensive comparative legal analysis of the norms of EU Member States\u2019laws in the field of copyright, specifically: the rules governing the protection of rights in photographs that possess elements of originality and simple photographs that lack such elements. The systems for the protection of rights in photographs that have developed in EU Member States are summarised: the monistic, the dualistic and tripartite systems. The distinctive features of each system are identified according\u00a0 to the laws of EU Member States, and common and differing approaches established by them regarding the legal regime for the protection of rights to non-original photographs have been analysed. It has been established that in EU Member States where protection of rights to non-original photographs is provided for, the scope of such protection is limited compared to the protection of rights to photographic works. It was concluded that there are differences in the protection of rights to non-original photographs across EU Member States. This does not promote legal certainty and has a negative impact on the market for the distribution of such photographs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
