Article L324-15 of the French Intellectual Property Code

If the sums due to rights holders cannot be distributed within three years of the end of the financial year in which the income from the exploitation of the rights was received, and provided that the collective management organisation has taken all the measures provided for in article L. 324-14 to identify and locate the beneficiaries, these sums are deemed to be part of the sums that cannot be distributed.

Si les sommes dues à des titulaires de droits ne peuvent pas être réparties dans un délai de trois ans à compter de la fin de l’exercice au cours duquel ont été perçus les revenus provenant de l’exploitation des droits, et sous réserve que l’organisme de gestion collective ait pris toutes les mesures prévues à l’article L. 324-14 pour identifier et localiser les bénéficiaires, ces sommes sont réputées relever des sommes qui ne peuvent être réparties.
