Headnotes by the Editorial Office 1. Pursuant to Sec. 29 of the Copyright Act, an author has the right to premature termination of a contract, the so-called right of revocation, in the event of non-exercise or non-use of the work. The declaration of termination may be disputed by the holder of the right to use the work within 14 days of receiving the declaration. 2. If the person authorised to use the work has failed to reject the declaration of termination in due time, he can no longer put forward the argument that it is invalid for any reason whatsoever. 3. The same rule applies when the holder of the right to use the work believes that the revocation of rights is inadmissible due to a statutory exception. 4. The obligation of the person authorised to use the work to object does not cease to apply even if a dispute with the author is already ongoing and the author is therefore aware of the other party’s position.
