EXPLOITATION RIGHTS LICENCE AGREEMENT

For the use of existing copyrighted material

Foreword This Agreement is intended to secure the legal protection of the results of CEN’s European standardization activities. This Agreement must be signed when contributors to the standardization activities of CEN hold copyright on a Work that is considered to be a 'significant element' of the technical content of a CEN deliverable and needs to be incorporated into it. 'Significant element' is understood to be an essential contribution to the CEN deliverable that may represent more than 5 % of the technical content of the same. However, TC Chairmen / WG Convenors may also decide as appropriate to request this Agreement to be signed to guarantee CEN legal protection on copyrighted Work representing less that 5 % of the technical content of the CEN deliverable. This Agreement does not apply to the Work produced by ISO (International Organization for Standardization) or by a national member of CEN that has to be incorporated into a CEN technical deliverable.

Licence Agreement

This Agreement is concluded in the framework of the Berne Convention for the protection of literary and artistic works between the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the copyright owner (the Licensor) as indicate hereafter. 2.

(c) The Licensor agrees that in case he continues exploiting his own copyright of the Work, he shall refrain to undertake any act that may directly or indirectly adversely affect the exploitation of the related CEN technical deliverable.
