Summary

Section 25e 1. The author may dissolve the contract wholly or in part if the other party to the contract does not sufficiently exploit the copyright to the work within a reasonable period after concluding the contract, or does not sufficiently exploit the copyright after having initially performed acts of exploitation. The preceding sentence does not apply if the failure to sufficiently exploit the copyright within this period is attributable to the author, or if the interest of the other party to the contract in maintaining the contract is so compelling that, according to the standards of reasonableness and fairness, it outweighs the author's interest in that regard. 7. If the other party to the contract or the third party does not assign the copyright back within a stipulated reasonable period, then a court may, on application by the author, determine an amount that is reasonable in the circumstances which the other party to the contract or the third party must pay the author, in addition to any compensation due to the author.
