INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
Copyright:
As the creator of a work, I automatically hold the copyright to it. This means that I have the right to decide how my work is used and distributed. Even if I sell my work or grant a license, I remain the owner of the copyright.
Usage Rights:
When someone acquires my work, they typically only receive the usage rights. These rights specify how the work may be used, for example, for personal use or for commercial purposes. I define the rights and restrictions regarding how the work may be used.
Commercial Use:
If my work is to be used for commercial purposes, such as for advertising, merchandise, or sales, I require an additional fee or license. The amount of this fee depends on how the work will be used and to what extent.
Editing Rights:
I have the right to decide if and to what extent my work may be edited or modified. If someone wishes to edit my work, they must obtain my consent. This also applies to using my work as a “base” for other creations.
Publication and Distribution:
I decide when and how my work is published or distributed. This means I determine whether and how my work is shown on social media, in galleries, or other public spaces.
Intellectual Property Protection:
It is important for me to protect my intellectual property to prevent unauthorized use of my work. This can be achieved through copyright registration, watermarks, or contractual agreements.
License Agreements:
When I grant someone the right to use my work, I create a license agreement. This agreement specifies how and under what conditions the work can be used, such as the duration, location, or specific purpose.
Intellectual Property Infringement:
If someone uses my work without permission, I have the right to take legal action. I can pursue violations to protect my rights and ensure my work is not used unlawfully.
Moral Rights:
As the creator, I also have moral rights to my work. This means I can ensure I am recognized as the creator and take action against distortions or inappropriate modifications of my work that contradict my creative vision.
Copyright Societies:
If I protect my rights through a copyright society like GEMA (in Germany), they ensure that I am compensated for the use of my works. They collect licensing fees and help enforce my intellectual property rights.
Public Use with Credit to Me:
Users are allowed to publicly post my work, whether on social media or other platforms, but only if they clearly and visibly credit me as the creator. This ensures my rights as the creator are recognized and protects the integrity of my work.
It is important to me that these points are clearly defined when I sell or license my works, in order to avoid misunderstandings or legal conflicts.
