The symbiotic relationship between art and law is evident in the figure of the droit de suite and the Reservas in the Mexican legislation, which are born in response to two different issues related to art and its authors. The droit de suite is an initiative of the late nineteenth century, and recognized at the Rome conference of 1928, which allows authors or their successors to receive a share in the re-sales of the works of his authorship, in the face of the fact that many authors and beneficiaries, from poverty observed how over time their works were sold in exorbitant amounts. With the Reservas, on the other hand, Mexican legislation sought to encompass an unassisted and deserving artistic expression of protection: the personality of the fictitious characters and not only their external aspect, which is what the generality of legislations protect.
