Berne Convention

The ‘Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, 9 September 1886 (the Berne Convention)’ is an international agreement that provides for copyright exceptions to the reproduction right in certain special cases. Article 9 of the Berne Convention contains the so called Berne three-step test: ‘It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to permit the reproduction of such works in certain special cases (step 1), provided that such reproduction does not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work (step 2) and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author (step 3).’ Later international agreements have applied the three-step test to rights other than the reproduction right.

Collection agreement

‘Collection agreement’ is an agreement between the producer and financiers of a film with a collection agent who is appointed to collect the proceeds of the exploitation of the film and distribute them to the financiers, the producer and other beneficiaries in accordance with the agreement. A collection agent is often appointed because they offer physical continuity in cases where the production company may not have individuals dedicated to running its day-to-day business. The collection agent is responsible for ensuring that distributors account for and pay the producer’s share of the distribution revenues.
