Section 13
Section 13
(2)
An assignment or testamentary disposition of copyright may be limited so as to apply to some only of the acts which the owner of the copyright has the exclusive right to control, or to a part only of the period of the copyright, or to a specified country or other geographical area.
(3)
No assignment of copyright and no exclusive licence to do an act the doing of which is controlled by copyright shall have effect unless it is in writing.
(4)
A non-exclusive licence to do an act the doing of which is controlled by copyright may be written or oral, or may be inferred from conduct.
(5)
An assignment or licence granted by one copyright owner shall have effect as if granted by his co-owners also, and, subject to any contract between them, fees received by the grantor shall be divided equitably between all the co-owners. For the purposes of this sub-section persons shall be deemed to be co-owners—
(a)
if they share a joint interest in the whole or any part of a copyright; or
(b)
if they have interests in the various copyrights in a composite production, that is to say, a production consisting of two or more works.
(6)
An assignment, licence or testamentary disposition may be effectively granted or made in respect of a future work, or an existing work in which copyright does not yet subsist, and the prospective copyright in any such work shall be transmissible by operation of law as movable property.
(7)
A testamentary disposition of the manuscript shall, unless the testament has provided otherwise, be deemed to include any copyright or prospective copyright in the work which is vested in the deceased.
