Allõigused
Allõigused is a term originating from Estonian, often translated as "sub-rights" or "ancillary rights" in English. It refers to specific rights within a larger intellectual property ownership, such as copyright or patent. These rights can be licensed, sold, or transferred independently of the main right. For example, in the context of a book, allõigused might include the rights to publish the work in different languages, create an audiobook, adapt it into a film, or merchandise related to the characters. Similarly, a patent holder might license allõigused for specific manufacturing processes or geographical regions. The concept allows for greater flexibility in monetizing intellectual property by enabling creators and owners to capitalize on various commercial opportunities arising from their original work. Understanding and managing allõigused is crucial for maximizing the value of intellectual assets and for navigating complex licensing agreements. Each allõigus represents a distinct stream of potential revenue and requires careful consideration of its scope, duration, and exclusivity.
