Reversion of Copyright In Europe

infojustice 2021-05-18

Summary:

[Martin Kretschmer, Ula Furgal, and Elena Cooper] Abstract: Reversion rights became a topical issue in Europe following the adoption of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (2019) which introduced a new right of revocation to the EU copyright framework. The right gives effect to a “use-it-or-lose-it” principle, entitling authors and performers to reclaim their works when they are not being exploited. While reversion rights are not a novelty to a number of EU Member States, the current reversion rights landscape is fragmented, with provisions often limited to certain works or agreements. This paper assembles three contributions from a special section of the European Intellectual Property Review (May 2021), in the pre-print version by the CREATe Centre, University of Glasgow.
