Materials for programmed instructions, including materials in kit form with the corresponding printed materials

For example, there are French weeks, English weeks, programs, instructions; everything is done in both languages.

Since programming language is an element which allows instructions to be given to the computer, it must be compared, for example, with the language used by the author of a novel.

3. Where a computer program is created by an employee in the execution of his duties or following the instructions given by his employer, the employer exclusively shall be entitled to exercise all economic rights in the program so created, unless otherwise provided by contract.

If an employee creates a computer program in the course of his duties or following the instructions given by his employer, the employer exclusively has the economic rights relating to that computer program.
