Tiago Bessa's article in the Revista da Ordem dos Advogados (Bar Association Review)

Tiago Bessa, senior associate at VdA's TMT - Telecoms, Media & IT practice is the author of an article at the Revista da Ordem dos Advogados (Bar Association Review) approaching "Copyright Contract Law and volunteer licenses for work exploitation".

The article analyses copyright licenses as a social and legal phenomenon regarding the possibility to dispose of protected content. While the first part of the article is dedicated to copyright law where the main aspects of exploitation licenses are approached, the remaining text focuses on the more specific aspects concerning copyright licenses such as their scope, form, content, types and different approaches from the parties.

This academic paper aims to contribute for the study of this type of contract which is fast becoming the mainstream contract in what concerns intellectual property.
