Section III<br />

Special part of copyright contract law<br />

Subsection I<br />

Publishing contract<br />

Article 85<br />

Definition<br />

(1) By a publishing contract the author undertakes to assign to the publisher the right of<br />

reproduction of his work in the form of printing, and the right to distribute the copies of the<br />

work, while the publisher undertakes to pay the author an agreed upon remuneration, and to<br />

reproduce and distribute the work.<br />

(2) A publishing contract with respect to a certain work may also include the agreement on a<br />

club edition, pocket-book edition, periodical edition in instalments, the assignment of the right<br />

of translation, etc.<br />

Article 86<br />

Rights of an agent<br />

An author's agent may conclude a publishing contract only for such works as are expressly<br />

mentioned in his power of attorney.<br />

Article 87<br />

Contents of the contract<br />

(1) The publishing contract shall specify, in particular, the type of assignment of rights, the<br />

scope and duration of the assignment of rights, territorial limitations of rights, the time limit<br />

within which the publisher is required to publish the work, and the amount of remuneration to<br />

be paid to the author.<br />

(2) If the royalties are fixed as a percentage of the retail price of the copies sold, the<br />

publishing contract must specify the minimum number of such copies of the first edition. Such<br />

provision is not necessary, if the contract provides for minimum royalties, which the publisher<br />

should pay to the author regardless of the actual number of copies sold.<br />

(3) If the royalties are set as a lump sum, the publishing contract must specify the total<br />

number of copies to be printed. If this number is not specified, and unless otherwise indicated<br />

by the purpose of the contract, standard terms, or general usage, the publisher may<br />

reproduce and distribute a maximum of 500 copies of the work.
