In the UK and elsewhere, with the exception of the US, there appears to be no legal ban on combining audio images and images or an explicit legal right to charge a sync fee. However, in the United States, copyright law defines audiovisual format as the combination of images with music for use in machines, and there is no explicit rate like the “compulsory license right” for copying music. However, there are cases where the courts involve the right of dubbing,[60][61] but it is nevertheless an amorphous commercial notion of acceptance. The license rate applied in a given case is determined by various factors, among which are the most notable: sub-publishers who produce and market a product keep 10-15% of the branded sale price and pay the balance to the main publisher with whom they have the copyright license. Sub-publishers who simply concede the factory earn between 15 and 25%. [34] Trademark rights and royalties are often linked in many other agreements. Brands are often applied to an entire brand of products and not just one. Since the purpose of trademark law, in the public interest, is to protect a consumer, trademark licenses are effective only if the company that owns the trademark receives some assurance in return that the products comply with their quality standards. When trademark rights are granted with know-how, deliveries, bundled advertising, etc., a franchise relationship is often created. Franchises cannot specifically allocate royalties to the trademark license, but may include, among other things, monthly fees and percentages of turnover. In this context, it is useful to take into account the concept of “needle drop” (now laser drops), since the synchronization fee becomes payable each time the needle falls “on the record player” during a public performance.

All openings and closures, every cut for ads, any reduction in ads, all rehearsals broadcast by any television company in any country of the world, create a “synchro”, although only one payment can be renegotiated in advance. [62] The licence fee for printing a book (novel, text or music) offered for sale or download worldwide varies between 20% and 30% of the retail business value received by the publisher/distributor. Payment is made by the publisher/distributor and, as with other music rights, is in accordance with the agreement (license) between the author and the publisher/distributor. The agreement is usually not exclusive to the publisher and the duration can vary between 3 and 5 years. Historical authors prefer certain publishers/distributors and usually receive higher royalties.

The table below shows how each of the 42 agreements is categorized with respect to the sector, the type of contract, intangible assets and the type of remuneration. Book authors can sell their copyright to the publisher.

Otherwise, they may receive a certain amount per book sold as a royalty. In Britain, for example, it is customary for authors to receive a 10% royalty on book sales. Companies in developing countries are often asked by the provider of know-how or patent licensing to consider technical service and technical assistance (TA) as part of the technology transfer process and to pay “royalties”. TS and TA are related to the transferred intellectual property (intellectual property) – and sometimes depending on its acquisition – but they are not ip at all. [72] TA and TS may also be the only party to the transfer or transfer of the investigation period, their simultaneous supplier. . . .
