Summary

" [175] The law reverts rights to the author upon notifying the grantee “if the other party to the contract does not sufficiently exploit the copyright to the work within a reasonable period after having concluded the contract, or does not sufficiently exploit the copyright after having initially performed acts of exploitation.”16 While the reversion right may not be waived, the law does not define these terms. Perhaps the dispute resolution committees the law establishes will resolve these and other issues that the law leaves open."
