Federal Act on Copyright and Related Rights
(Copyright Act, CopA)

¹ When de­term­in­ing re­mu­ner­a­tion, ac­count is taken of:

a.

the pro­ceeds ob­tained from the use of the work, per­form­ance, phono­gram or au­dio-visu­al fix­a­tion or broad­cast, or al­tern­at­ively the costs in­curred in such use;

b.

the nature and quant­ity of the works, per­form­ances, phono­grams or au­dio-visu­al fix­a­tions or broad­casts used;

c.

the ra­tio of pro­tec­ted to un­pro­tec­ted works, per­form­ances, phono­grams or au­dio-visu­al fix­a­tions or broad­casts as well as to oth­er ser­vices.

² Re­mu­ner­a­tion nor­mally amounts to a max­im­um of ten per cent of the pro­ceeds or costs in­curred from the use of the copy­right and a max­im­um of three per cent for re­lated rights; however, it is de­term­ined in such a way that en­titled per­sons re­ceive equit­able re­mu­ner­a­tion con­di­tioned upon sound fin­an­cial man­age­ment for the ad­min­is­tra­tion of rights.

³ The use of the work un­der Art­icle 19 para­graph 1 let­ter b is sub­ject to pref­er­en­tial tar­iffs.

⁴ The rent­al of cop­ies of works in ac­cord­ance with Art­icle 13 by pub­lic or pub­licly ac­cess­ible lib­rar­ies is sub­ject to pref­er­en­tial tar­iffs in or­der to safe­guard the in­sti­tu­tion’s man­date to dis­sem­in­ate know­ledge.⁵⁶
