RULE FOUR
SUBMISSION
1. "Every award shall be conditioned upon the delivery to
the Academy of one print of every film nominated for final balloting
for all Academy Awards, and such print shall become the property
of the Academy, with the proviso, however, that the Academy shall
not use such print for commercial gain. Such print shall be deposited
with the Academy and, subject to matters not within its control,
shall be screened by the Academy for the membership in advance of
distribution of final ballots." (Academy Bylaws, Article VIII,
Section 6.)
2. "Every award shall be conditioned upon the execution and
delivery to the Academy by the recipient thereof of a receipt and
agreement reading as follows:
Gentlemen:
I hereby acknowledge receipt from you of a replica of your copyrighted
statuette, commonly known as the 'Oscar,' as an award for achievement
in motion picture arts and sciences. I acknowledge that my receipt
of said replica does not entitle me to any right whatever in your
copyright, trade-mark and service-mark of said statuette and that
only the physical replica itself shall belong to me. In consideration
of your delivering said replica to me, I agree to comply with
your rules and regulations respecting its use and not to sell
or otherwise dispose of it, nor permit it to be sold or disposed
of by operation of law, without first offering to sell it to you
for the sum of $1.00. You shall have thirty days after any such
offer is made to you within which to accept it. This agreement
shall be binding not only on me, but also on my heirs, legatees,
executors, administrators, estate, successors and assigns. My
legatees and heirs shall have the right to acquire said replica,
if it becomes part of my estate, subject to this agreement.
______________________
(Signature of Recipient)
Any member of the Academy who has heretofore received any Academy
trophy shall be bound by the foregoing receipt and agreement with
the same force and effect as though he or she had executed and delivered
the same in consideration of receiving such trophy." (Academy
Bylaws, Article VIII, Section 7.)
3. In submitting a film for Academy Award consideration, the film's
owners are deemed to have conveyed to the Academy the right to choose
excerpts from the film in the Academy's sole discretion after consultation
for incorporation into the Academy Awards telecast for the year
in which the film is in competition.
