Legal questions about copyrights

Questioner

A client wants to obtain and edit working files of drawings without my permission, is that allowed?

Lawyer

That depends on what has been agreed in the agreement or general terms and conditions about the ownership rights of the drawings. If nothing has been agreed, you can appeal to the copyright on the drawings you have made.

Questioner

Thank you very much, I am now somewhat more firmly in the coming conversation. But suppose they do want to obtain it with my permission, how do I determine the amount of compensation and are the rights bought off permanently or is this for a certain period?

Lawyer

You can determine the amount of compensation yourself. It is also impossible for me to give an indication of this because a number of aspects are important.
