DR MICHAŁ MARKIEWICZ FOR THE REPUBLIC OF POLAND – WHEN TO ‘NOT INCLUDE’ LICENSING

After a short break, in the pages of Rzeczpospolita, Michał Markiewicz points out an important aspect of legal and copyright law, i.e. the necessity for an entrepreneur to obtain rights to use works received from third parties (including: photographs, texts, music, e-mails, graphics, etc.). In this respect, it is important to remember that, although in most cases it is the contract that must form the basis of the business use of other people’s works, it often ‘concludes itself’ and this eventuality (in the case of certain business models) is worth bearing in mind without making everyday life too difficult. In the article, I write, among other things, about when the use of an implied licence is justified and what risks it entails.
