Art Licensing

Copyright in Australia


Art Licensing


THE ILLUSTRATORS licensing agreement allows you to use your artwork anywhere in the world, and the license never expires. You may use the asset in print, presentations and online. However, you may not share or distribute the asset in any way that would let others use the asset without licensing it themselves.

Example
THE ILLUSTRATORS license grants unlimited usage to a client without restricting usage. The client cannot resell the artwork, nor can THE ILLUSTRATORS.

Transfer of Copyright
Transfer of copyright can be requested for company logos and commercial projects. Upon completion of a copyright transfer a client assumes title and proprietorship of an image. The new owner may resell the image, alter or create derivative images, license the image and transfer copyright.


Copyright in Australia


There is no system of registration for copyright protection in Australia. Copyright protection does not depend on publication, a copyright notice, or any other procedure. Copyright protection is free and automatic from the moment your work is on paper, harddrive, or otherwise put into “material form” — Australian Copyright Council
