Law/Patents - Cinema, Film, TV, Drama / Copyrights
Spanish term or phrase: Mandante
I have found a lot of translations but am not sure which is correct applied to SGAE.

This is the context: El presente mandato se extiende a todas las obras sobre las que MANDANTE ostente derechos. MANDANTE incluirá todas las obras que vaya creando siendo aplicables a las mismas las condiciones del presente mandato. Esta obligación se entenderá cumplida por el simple registro de la obra en la SOCIEDAD, ya sea practicado a instancia de MANDANTE o de cualquier persona que traiga causa del mismo.

I'd appreciate any help.

Principal - of agency; copyright assignor; grantor of licence
Explanation:
SGAE - Sociedad General de Autores y Editores : I doubt whether the latter is the Mandante in this case, though we don't have enough information on the underlying transaction: grantor ofa copyright licenc/se or assignor as the copyright owner or 'originator' to whom the copyright can be re-assigned e.g. a company employee. Otherwise, the following online quote would appear muddled:

'What is copyright? the exclusive legal right, given to an originator or an assignee to print, publish, perform, film, or record literary, artistic, or....'

if mandato expreso is being translated e.g. as an explicit agency, then the parties thereto would - in BrE / IrE - be principal and agent and the matter thereby resolved.

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: es mandante Council en delegator Council cf. the term of assignor
  • Copyright assignment permits a third party, known as the assignee, to take ownership of the copyright from the owner, or assignor. The assignment must be done in writing to be valid.

disagree  Robert Carter: But the term this is a translation of on that website is "socio", not "mandante". It does matter. You're translating "socio"; the question is "mandante". In 1 sense they're members of an organisation; in another they're "principals" of an "agency".

  -> It doesn't matter. The artists who belong to the organization and sign this contract are called members.
