Document background
The Copyright Contract serves as a crucial legal instrument under Dutch law for protecting and commercializing intellectual property rights in creative works. This document is essential when authors, artists, or other copyright holders wish to transfer or license their rights to publishers, producers, or other parties who will exploit the work commercially. The agreement must comply with the Dutch Copyright Act (Auteurswet) and implemented EU directives, particularly addressing the enhanced creator protection measures introduced by the EU Copyright Directive 2019/790. It is commonly used in situations ranging from book publishing and music licensing to software development and digital content distribution, ensuring clear delineation of rights, obligations, and commercial terms while protecting both parties' interests.
