Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) | | French term or phrase: (droits) definis precisement dans le temps, l'espace et par media, | conformement aux besoins definis par l'annonceur.
Hi everyone,
I'm translating an advertising contract which is outling conditions for intellectual property rights transfers, and this one is really stumping me! How is the right "defined over time, space and by media"?
Can "definir" ever mean "limited"? Does "espace"
I have attempted it as "defined specifically over time, space and by media"
I thank you all for your help in advance! |
| | | defined precisely in time, space and by media | Explanation:
in accordance with the requirements defined by the advertiser."
Perhaps the idea of "over" time should be set aside in favour of "in" time?
Yes, I would agree that as soon as you define something, then you are setting certain limits. That might even be part of how the term itself could be defined. That said, I would certainly not consider substituting "define" for "limit" here.
