Copyright Licensing in Georgia
Licensing copyright begins with three questions: what may be transferred (Article 35 — the grounds of transfer), what type of licence is granted — exclusive or ordinary (Articles 37 and 38), and what the contract must say (Article 40). This page explains all three blocks so that licensor and licensee understand the risks in advance.
Of the three grounds of transfer — law, testament, contract — licensing practice directly concerns the third, yet the first two constantly descend upon it: when a contract is concluded with an heir or successor, the status is determined by the document of succession, and that document is checked at the very first stage of the negotiations — otherwise the whole transaction becomes questionable.
