Clauses About Reversion of Rights
These clauses can have the same effect as a grant-back [link] in that they put the rights back in the hand of the author at some point. The difference is that there is typically a trigger for reversion, such as a book going “out of print,” or the statutory termination right under the Copyright Act [link], which the creator has to activate. If the creator does nothing, the rights generally remain with the grantee. [also link to out of print and termination sections of webpage]
