New developments / licensing
In February 2019, the Joint Licensing Platform (OLP) was formed by a protocol signed by and between seven collective management organizations, namely Course and Culture Books Publishers Professional Association (DEKMEB), Educational Publishers Society (EGITIMYAYBIR), Turkish Press and Publishers Copyright & Licensing Society (TBYM), Publishers Copyright & Licensing Society (YAYBIR), Copyright Holders Association of Literary and Scientific Works (BESAM), Translators Society (CEVBIR), and Scientific and Literary Work Owners Society (ILESAM). The objective of the Platform is to implement an up-to-date, transparent, fair, and dynamic joint licensing system in the publishing sector. There are currently four commissions within the Platform working on the statute, database, educational publishing, and academic publishing, and the input to be provided by these commissions will give shape to the structure and mode of operation of the Joint Licensing Platform.
