Federal Act
on the Amendment of the Swiss Civil Code
(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Where no clause was agreed that stip­u­lates the num­ber of edi­tions, the pub­lish­er is en­titled to pro­duce only one.

² Where noth­ing was agreed, the pub­lish­er de­term­ines the size of the edi­tion but at the ori­gin­at­or’s re­quest must print at least enough to gen­er­ate reas­on­able sales, and once the first print run is com­pleted, he must not print any fur­ther cop­ies.

³ Where the pub­lish­ing con­tract con­fers pub­lish­ing rights for sev­er­al or all edi­tions of a work and the pub­lish­er fails to pro­duce a new edi­tion after the pre­vi­ous edi­tion is ex­hausted, the ori­gin­at­or may have the court set a time lim­it for the pub­lic­a­tion of a new edi­tion, fail­ing which the pub­lish­er for­feits such rights.
