Foreign rightsholders

• Foreign material (both the authors' and the publishers' share)
• Translated material (half the authors' share)
• Norwegian publication by foreign author (the authors' share)
• Norwegian author published abroad (the publishers' share).

Agreements with foreign rightsholders' organisations are designed partly for the purpose of exchanging rights portfolios, and partly to regulate how the transfer of remuneration should take place.

Kopinor has bilateral agreements with these organisations:

Types of agreements

• Reciprocal agreement, type A
  Two reproduction rights organisations exchange rights portfolios, and agree on the payment of remuneration across national borders.
• Reciprocal agreement, type B
  Two reproduction rights organisations exchange rights portfolios, and agree that the remuneration will stay in the country of accrual.
• Authorisation (Type C)
  An authorisation regarding the transfer of the rights portfolio and the right to issue licenses and claim remuneration in the other country is granted by Kopinor to a foreign organisation.
• Agreement on the transfer of remuneration (Type D)
  Agreement for the transfer of collective remuneration directly to an authors' or publishers' organisation.

Distribution of funds

• Based on the statistical surveys, Kopinor calculates the amount deriving from copies from each country. The remuneration is paid out in accordance with bilateral agreements (or retained, in case of Type B-agreements).
• Remuneration to rightsholders in countries with no bilateral agreements is kept in separate accounts for 3 years after the year of collection. After 3 years it is transferred to Kopinor’s Development Fund (2/3) and domestic distribution (1/3).
