Questão jurídica principal
Whether the declaratory action for authorship was barred by lapse of time or lack of legitimate interest under copyright law.
Decisão extraída
The action was not time-barred; delay could affect only the assessment of legitimate interest, which remained present here.
Fundamentação extraída
A declaratory action under Art. 61 LDA is not subject to a limitation period. The claimant retained a legitimate interest because authorship is tied to moral rights, and an ongoing dispute over paternity creates an objectively intolerable legal uncertainty.
