Article 36. Transfer of copyright by inheritance
On copyright and related rights (LRU-42-son) · Date: 20.07.2006 · In force
The property rights of an author shall be transferable by inheritance.
Non-proprietary rights of the author shall not be transferable by inheritance. The successors of an author shall have the right to exercise the protection of these rights. These powers of successors shall not be limited by time.
In the absence of successors of the author, protection of his/her personal non-proprietary rights shall be entrusted to a specially authorized state authority.
If the copyright in a work belongs to several successors jointly, the order of use of the work shall be determined by agreement between them. Hereby, none of the successors may, without sufficient grounds, prohibit the other successors from using the work.
