creative work copyright

Under U.S. and international copyright laws, ownership of creative works is the property of the author (illustrator) from the moment it is created in a tangible form. By default the medical illustrator owns copyright when they create the work. Copyright can be sold in whole (called a transfer of copyright), or more commonly, rights may be sold separately with conditions (called licensing). A license is a contract whereby the illustrators who owns the rights, grants reproduction rights to the client to use the artwork for a specific purpose under specific terms in exchange for a fee. When the license expires, those licensed rights revert to the illustrator.

licensing

A license is a contract whereby the illustrators who owns the rights, grants reproduction rights to a client to use the work for a specific purpose under specific terms in exchange for a fee. When the license expires, the licensed rights revert to the illustrator. The concept underlying licensing fees is that the reproduction of the creative work produces results for the client that have value. The success of a product is related to the quality of the creative work. Thus, the extent of rights licensed is related to the compensation paid. Each right has a value. The more rights, the higher the fee. These longstanding, established principles are respected and upheld by professional creators and their licensors.
