France has "a slightly higher threshold of originality in general, and particularly so in the context of photographic works". A decision from Supreme court (Cour de Cassation) on October 2011 agreed with appeal court decision saying that a quite artistic picture of two fish on a yellow plate about a traditional Marseille meal could not be protected by French law because of lack of originality. According to this decision, level of originality required by this appeal court is very high. See COM:CRT/France#Threshold of originality for more information.
