Practice question
A right-holder designates a society to collectively manage specified rights. After the RA10372 amendment, the society invokes Section183 alone to enforce those rights but admits it has not obtained the necessary IPO accreditation. It says designation automatically dispenses with accreditation and transfers every copyright to the society. Which is correct?
- Designation does not dispense with the express accreditation requirement or automatically constitute an all-rights assignment
- Every designation eliminates the accreditation rule
- Collective management always means the author loses all ownership
- The society may create accreditation merely by printing a letterhead
- The amendment prohibits any designated society from ever managing rights
