67It should be added, as the Advocate General observed in point 73 of his Opinion, that the infringement of copyright need not consist in the complete reproduction of the work, but may consist in a partial reproduction. The various parts of a work also enjoy protection under Article 2(a) of Directive 2001/29, provided that they contain elements which are the expression of the intellectual creation of the author of the work (see, to that effect, judgment of 16 July 2009, Infopaq International, C‑5/08, EU:C:2009:465, paragraph 39), which could be the case where an author seeks to restore a partially lost literary work in the form which he or she considers to be as close as possible to that drawn up by the author of the original work.
