BILATERAL AGREEMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION
Reproduction Rights Organizations all over the world, as a practice sign bilateral agreements with each other so as to enable them license the reproduction of and collect fees from the works of each others members. IFRRO (www.ifrro.org) has developed different types of model bilateral agreements, and RROs are free to adopt and adapt these to their particular situations.
Kopiken has signed such agreements with Kopinor (Norway - www.kopinor.org), ALCS (UK - www.alcs.co.uk), CLL - Copyright Licensing Ltd. (New Zealand - www.copyright.co.nz), Repronig (Nigeria), JAMCOPY - Jamaican Copyright Licensing Agency (www.jamcopy.com), TTRRO, The Trinidad and Tobago Reproduction Rights organisation) and MASA - Mauritius Society of Authors.
In addition, Kopiken is in the process of signing bilateral agreements with several RROs under the bilateral agreements and international cooperation.
