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.
