Document background
The Copyright License Agreement For Written Work is essential when a copyright holder wishes to grant specific rights to their written work while retaining underlying ownership. This agreement, governed by Swiss law and compliant with the Federal Copyright Act, is commonly used by authors, publishers, and content creators to establish clear terms for the commercial exploitation of written works. It's particularly relevant when licensing books, articles, educational materials, or other written content for publication, translation, or digital distribution. The document details the scope of licensed rights, territorial limitations, payment structures, and quality control requirements, while ensuring proper attribution and protection of the creator's interests. It's designed to provide legal certainty for both parties while facilitating the commercial use of copyrighted material in a controlled manner.
