Document background
The Co-Publishing Agreement serves as a fundamental instrument in the music publishing industry, particularly where multiple parties seek to share publishing rights and responsibilities. Under Singapore law, this agreement type is commonly used when publishers want to collaborate on exploiting musical works while maintaining clear rights allocation and revenue sharing arrangements. The agreement typically covers copyright administration, licensing rights, territory definitions, revenue splits, and accounting procedures, all within Singapore's legal framework which provides strong protection for intellectual property rights through the Copyright Act 2021 and related legislation.
