In the case of a commissioned work used for advertising, the contract between the producer and the author entails, unless there is a clause to the contrary, the transfer to the producer of the rights to exploit the work, provided that this contract specifies the separate remuneration due for each method of exploitation of the work depending in particular on the geographical area, the duration of the exploitation, the size of the print run and the nature of the medium.
An agreement between the representative authors’ organisations and the representative advertising producers’ organisations sets out the basic elements entering into the composition of the remuneration corresponding to the various uses of the works.
The term of the agreement is between one and five years.
Its stipulations may be made mandatory for all interested parties by decree.
