De Gruyter - Die Auslegung und Kontrolle des Wahrnehmungsvertrags

This legal academic work explores the essential role of interpretation and content control regarding copyright perception agreements (Wahrnehmungsvertrage) in judicial practice. As legal disputes frequently arise between rights holders and collecting societies, understanding the nuances of these contracts is vital for legal professionals and scholars. Beyond disputes between creators and societies, the book addresses the needs of users of protected works or neighboring rights. These users require clear guidance to determine whether they must acquire necessary rights directly from the collecting society or from the rights holders themselves. The author provides a detailed examination of the interpretation rules found within both copyright law and contract law to provide clarity on these complex legal structures. This volume serves as a specialized resource within the series 'Schriften zum Europaischen und Internationalen Privat-, Bank- und Wirtschaftsrecht' for anyone studying or practicing in the fields of European and international private, banking, and economic law.
