The latest issue of Jagiellonian University’s Scientific Notebooks, Theses in Intellectual Property Law (Notebook 1/163), features an article by Professor Ryszard Markiewicz entitled “The principle of assimilation and author’s additional (post-contractual) remuneration.” In the text the following issues are developed: – the emergence of additional (post-contractual) remuneration, – post-contractual remuneration in the light of the principle of assimilation from the Berne Convention, – the entity authorized to state the principles of application of the principle of assimilation in the European Union, – basic principles of application to foreigners of the right to post-contractual remuneration. Quoting after the author: “Author’s additional remuneration, payable by the users of works and artistic performances under Article 70 (21) of the Copyright Act, is an important and extensive part of the Polish copyright law. Moreover, the draft amendment to the Law on Copyright and Related Rights includes streaming of works with them. If the principle of assimilation should be applied to such remuneration, then due to the outflow of funds abroad, without reciprocity from other countries, the amendment of the adopted regulation should be considered.” The article is also available in the LEX database at the following link: https://sip.lex.pl/#/publication/151473786
