Due to the different types of works and the different ways in which the works are used, copyright licensing contracts can be classified from different perspectives.
1) According to the way the work is used, there are mainly the following types:
Publishing Contracts. It is an agreement between the copyright owner and the book publisher regarding the publication of the work.
Performance Contract. That is, a contract between the copyright owner and the performer, such as a performance contract between a script writer and a repertory troupe.
Recording contracts (audio and video recording contracts). That is, the contract concluded between the copyright owner and the audiovisual producer. The copyright owner hands over his works (such as ** works, opera works, etc.) to the audio-visual producer for use, who makes audio and video recordings and publishes them publicly, and the audio-visual producer pays a certain remuneration to the copyright owner.
Adaptation of the contract. It is an agreement signed between the copyright owner and the adaptor by allowing others to adapt their work. The form of adaptation is usually to adapt ** into a movie script or TV script, a drama script into ***, a scientific monograph into a popular science book, etc.
Production contracts. That is, the film production contract signed between the copyright owner and the film studio.
Translation contracts. That is, a contract concluded between the copyright owner and the translator, etc.
2) According to the scope of use authorized by the copyright owner, it can be divided into exclusive use contract and non-exclusive use contract. According to the Copyright Law, a book publishing contract is an exclusive use contract, and all contracts other than the book publishing contract can be non-exclusive use contracts.
3) According to the nature of the transfer of property rights in copyright, it can be divided into copyright license contract and copyright transfer contract. The former transfers the right to use the copyright, and the latter transfers the property right of the copyright.
4) According to whether the property rights of the copyright are fully transferred, it can be divided into a contract for the full transfer of copyright and a contract for the partial transfer of copyright. The former is the transfer of all the property rights in the copyright, and the latter is the transfer of part of the property rights of the copyright.

But there is also an author of this part, who does not sell the copyright of her work, but licenses the work to the TV series producer. This is often referred to as copyright licensing.
What is the definition of copyright licensing?
Copyright licensing refers to the fact that the copyright owner allows others to exercise its copyright under certain conditions on the premise of retaining its identity as the copyright owner. The so-called "certain conditions" include restrictions on the manner, time, and geographical scope of use, in addition to royalties.
What are the characteristics of copyright licensing?
1. The permission to use the copyright does not change the ownership of the copyright.
2. The copyright still belongs to the copyright owner in its entirety, and it will not cause any defects in rights. The rights of the licensee are subject to the provisions of the contract. The licensee cannot exercise the rights beyond the agreed agreement without authorization, and at the same time, it can only exercise the copyright in the agreed manner in the agreed territory and for the agreed period.
3. The licensee cannot license the rights he enjoys to others without authorization, nor can he prohibit the copyright owner from licensing others to use the same rights in exactly the same way, in the same territory and for the same period, unless the licensee enjoys the exclusive license right with the right of sub-license.
4. The licensee generally cannot file a lawsuit against the infringer in its own name against the infringement of its own rights and interests by a third party, because the licensee is not the subject of copyright, unless the copyright owner licenses the exclusive right of use.
Reminder: Copyright licensing means that the copyright owner allows others to exercise its copyright under certain conditions under certain conditions on the premise of retaining its identity as the copyright owner, and does not change the ownership of the copyright, but you must be cautious when signing a copyright license contract.
