Suppose you create a work under the protection of copyright law, which can be roughly divided into the property right of the work and the personal right of the work (or the personal right of the work), in which the personal right of the work is stipulated as non-transferable in laws and regulations. Please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia for the explanation of personal rights of works. I repost it as follows:
The right to publish, that is, the right to decide whether a work is published, means that whether the author's work is published is decided by the author himself, and no one else has the right to decide whether the author's work is published;
The right of signature, that is, the right to show the identity of the author and sign his name on the work;
The right to modify refers to the right to modify or authorize others to modify their own works, which means that only I have the right to authorize others to modify my own works;
The right to protect the integrity of a work means the right to protect the work from distortion and tampering.
The above rights are neither transferable nor restrictive, so the so-called intellectual property rights in the agreement with the organizer do not include the above rights.
Usually, the agreement with the organizer is mainly to regulate the copyright. The so-called copyright includes the rights that the copyright owner should enjoy, such as reproduction, distribution, lease, exhibition, performance, projection, broadcasting, information network dissemination, shooting, adaptation, translation, assembly and renewal. For a detailed explanation of various rights, please refer to Baidu Encyclopedia. )
The right of every detail in the property right of a work can be stipulated by contract. If there is no clear ownership, say "all intellectual property belongs to the organizer", and you agree to transfer all the property rights of the work to the organizer.
Since the property right of a work includes the right of distribution, when you transfer the right of distribution of the work to the organizer, only the organizer can "distribute" the work. Therefore, if you want to publish your own book in the future, it will involve this right. Therefore, before signing an agreement with the organizer, we can further communicate the exemption clauses, such as "the author can publish and distribute his own works, but he may not authorize a third party to publicly distribute them". If there is no such exclusion clause, if you want to publish your work, it is equivalent to distribution and will infringe on the rights of the organizer.
The right to publish in the personal rights of works can be used to balance the organizer's right to publish, that is to say, if you write to the organizer that you don't want to publish your work, the organizer can't publish your work in the journal, but because you have transferred the right to publish to the organizer when signing the agreement, you can't publish your work yourself. "Right of publication" refers to the right to publish or not, not who can publish. There is a difference between the two.
