New distribution key for performing and broadcasting rights as from January 2017
Decision of the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) dated 28 July 2016
The SUISA distribution key for performing and broadcasting rights will be changed from 01 January 2017 onwards. For works with an original publisher, the share of the author shall be 66.67% and that of the publisher 33.33%. The distribution rules are thus adapted to the CISAC key which is applied at international level.
