RIGHTS OF ASSIGNEE. The copyright
may be assigned in whole or in part. Within the scope
of the assignment, the assignee is entitled to all the
rights and remedies which the assignor had with respect
to the copyright. (SECTION 180.1)
The copyright is not deemed assigned inter vivos
in whole or in part unless there is a written
indication of such intention. (SECTION180.2)
The submission of a literary, photographic or artistic
work to a newspaper, magazine or periodical for publication
shall constitute only a license to make a single
publication unless a greater right is expressly
granted. If two (2) or more persons jointly own a copyright
or any part thereof, neither of the owners shall be
entitled to grant licenses without the prior written
consent of the other owner or owners. (SECTION180.3)
(Sec. 15, P.D. No. 49a)
PUBLISHED EDITION OF WORK. In addition
to the right to publish granted by the author, his heirs,
or assigns, the publisher shall have a copyright consisting
merely of the right of reproduction of the typographical
arrangement of the published edition of the work. (SECTION
174)
Filing of Assignment or License. — An assignment
or exclusive license may be filed in duplicate with
the National Library upon payment of the prescribed
fee for registration in books and records kept for the
purpose. Upon recording, a copy of the instrument shall
be returned to the sender with a notation of the fact
of record. Notice of the record shall be published in
the IPO Gazette. (SECTION 182) (Sec. 19, P.D. No. 49a)
