4.2.1. Functions of Current Rules

Remuneration regulations value fairness through standardization, which reduces uncertainty and enables budget control. Contractual payment mechanisms in traditional delivery methods reduce financial pressure, while milestones transfer the risks of temporary financing to firms and ensure completion of projects. The legislative intellectual property regime creates economic rights with the purpose of providing payment to the author or copyright owner. Legislation provides for joint authorship, but not contractual documents which instead ensure acquisition of intellectual property on a fixed price basis for potential future works.
