Inward Rights, Reproduction & Use file

You can record rights sold or granted to your organisation by another party with the Inward Rights, Reproduction & Use file in the Activities module.

Overview

You may have a contemporary artwork in your collection for which you do not hold the copyright. The artist or copyright holder may grant you the rights to reproduce an image of the artwork in a print publication, such as an exhibition catalogue. The Inward Rights, Reproduction & Use file enables you to record the details of this agreement/licence.
Procedural Status can record whether this is a requested, current, declined or expired right. You will need to periodically search for Inward Rights records past their end date, so you can renegotiate rights or update the status.
There are also fields for recording research into copyright ownership, as this is an important part of deciding whether a work can be considered orphaned.
Multiple copyright owners and/or agents (as well as other parties) can be recorded in the Other Party table.
A list of all Inward Rights records relating to a single object can be viewed from the Object record. This information can be found in the Related Inward Rights tab of the Object - Acquisition, Provenance & Rights window.
