CNFC’s Main mission

License to use

The primary task of the cnfc is to represent the rights holder in negotiating with users for permission to use the work in certain forms.

Collect fees for using works

The main purpose of licensing is to generate maximum income for the rights holder, when their work is used.

One of the important requirements for collecting fees for using works is that the amount collected must be commensurate with the actual level of use, depending on the form of use.

Distribution of fees for use of works

The distribution of royalties for the use of works is based on the basic principle that the CNFC must transfer to the rights holders the amount of money they are entitled to according to the extent of use of the work, after deducting management costs.
