DR MICHAL MARKIEWICZ FOR THE RZECZPOSPOLITA – FRAMEWORK AGREEMENTS FOR MASS CREATION OF WORKS

In today’s Rzeczpospolita, Dr. Michal Markiewicz writes about the problem of contracts that concern the creation of a large, unspecified number of works in the future. The problem raises the following questions, among others: Is it permissible to conclude an agreement that does not specify what is to be created in the future? Does the requirement of written form under pain of invalidity limit the freedom of the parties to cooperate? Does the market practice of mail order correspond to the statutory requirements provided for contracts transferring copyrights? How to safely specify the subject matter of the framework agreement? What if the contract does not implement the statutory requirements for its validity? Link: https://www.rp.pl/biznes/art40653181-umowy-ramowe-na-masowe-tworzenie-utworow-tresc-i-wymagana-forma
