Multiple Copyright Holders Clause Samples
The "Multiple Copyright Holders" clause defines how rights and responsibilities are managed when more than one party holds copyright in a work. It typically outlines the procedures for granting permissions, making decisions about licensing, and sharing royalties or other benefits among the copyright holders. For example, it may require unanimous or majority consent for licensing the work to third parties, or specify how disputes between holders are resolved. This clause ensures clarity and prevents conflicts by establishing clear rules for collaboration and decision-making among co-owners of a copyrighted work.
