Chapter III Protecting copyright for culture and arts related grants
Article 11
Where an organization or juridical person has the need to use the results of a grant related to culture and the arts, it should, in principle, obtain the economic rights or a nonexclusive license. Where any of the following applies, the organization or juridical person may be deemed to obtain partial or complete economic rights, or deemed to have obtained an exclusive license:
1. Where the organization or juridical person is providing a grant and has a continuing need to promote the results.
2. Where other important public interests hold, including ensuring the right to public participation, access, and use, as well as shared culture.
Where the preceding provisos apply, or where limits on use of the results of a grant are in place, attention must be paid to the purpose, category, and amount of the grant, as well as the determined use, content, and scope of the authorization, and make a reasonable and balanced accommodation.
The determination under Item 1 must clearly show the grant directions or related information and, where necessary, shall first seek the opinions of related businesses, groups, or experts.
Article 12
Where an organization or juridical person handles the results of a grant related to culture and the arts, it shall name as the author the grant recipient or actual creator.
Article 13
Where two or more organizations or juridical persons jointly handle a grant related to culture and the arts, they shall pay attention to whether the recipient has received other grants from organization or juridical persons for the same submission. The organization or juridical person in such a case shall demand that the recipient make an appropriate detailed accounting of the relevant grant contract or documentation concerning the content of the agreement concerning the economic rights.
Article 14
To safeguard the copyright of art and culture grant recipients in agreements, in addition to the regulations in this Chapter, the regulations of Paragraph 2 of Article 8 and Article 10 shall also apply.
