An American lawyer who attended a symposium on copyright contracts a number of years ago in Europe offered the following as an example of the network of contractual relationships which can operate in copyright. "Novelist A grants publication rights to B who sublicences C to publish in paperback and D to publish abroad, A reserving other rights subsequently disposed of by the grant of film rights to E, who arranges co-production of a television series with F, who shares the sound-track album rights with G and licences character merchandising rights to H for Germany, I for Australia and J for everywhere else, with book synopsis rights to a television spinoff series using the basic character in new stories awarded to K, and so on, perhaps indefinitely.
