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.
