Description The author deals with public domain from the perspective of private law and constitutional law protection. In the paper, the author emphasizes the necessity of the existence of a public domain as an important source for artistic and scientific creations, analyzes the internal structure of the public domain and addresses the constitutional-law possibilities of its protection. The author sees the constitutional basis of the public domain in the general freedom of action [Article 2 (3) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, Article 2 (4) of the Constitution of the Czech Republic]. The general freedom of action constitutes not only the primary structural principle of the democratic state but also the subjective public right against the state to respect the autonomous manifestations of human’s personality (Constitutional Court rulings file No. I. ÚS 546/03, I. ÚS 167/04). In addition, the general freedom of action "emanates" into the specific fundamental rights and freedoms such as freedom of expression [Article 17 (2) and (4) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms] or the application of the property protection limitations [Article 11 (3) of the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms].
