On March 6, 2025, the National Intellectual Rights Service (SENADI) issued the Technical Standard for the Registration of Contracts for the Assignment of Economic Rights of Copyright and License Agreements. This regulation, established through Resolution No. SENADI-DNDAYDC-2025-0002-NT, governs the process for registering such contracts within the current legal framework.
This standard defines essential terms to ensure the correct interpretation of concepts such as exclusive rights, licenses, non-exclusive assignment, Works, producers and software. Additionally, it regulates the minimum elements that must be included in contracts for the assignment of economic rights, such as identification of the rights holder, scope of the contract, originality of the work, moral rights, territorial coverage, and duration of the agreement.
Regarding the registration of contracts and licenses, the regulation specifies the required documents and necessary procedures for proper execution.
The registration process includes a review and verification of the application, as well as the deadlines and procedures for correcting any omissions.
