Administrative Tribunal of Paris

Rule Changes

Ruled in Wenman's favor on 21 April 2023; its point-cloud exception was upheld on appeal

France's highest administrative court ruled in December 2025 that the Rodin Museum's 3D scans of Auguste Rodin's sculptures belong to the museum's collection, not to the public record. The ruling, case n° 487950 and published in the Recueil Lebon, means freedom-of-information law does not apply to the files.
