Owner of creative work after termination of partnership?


Questioner

There is a partnership with two partners. All the creative work is done by one of the two partners. Since the foundation 30 years ago, there has never been an agreement on paper about the rights to this. If the partnership is terminated, who is the owner of the creative work? Is the author/creator the owner, or are both partners automatically the owner because it was developed within the company?

Lawyer

The inventor or creator is automatically the copyright holder. The VOF is not a separate legal entity. The VOF can own copyrights, but only by selling or donating them to it via the VOF contract or a separate deed.
