The Agency for Cultural Affairs' ``Copyright Contract Creation Support System'' that allows both the creator and the requester to create a work to easily create a contract simply by answering questions is very convenient.



When concluding a contract related to copyright, such as a request to create an illustration or a request to write a manuscript, it is necessary to clarify the rights of both the author and the user in order to prevent troubles associated with secondary use. However, it is very difficult to create a copyright contract without any prior knowledge. When I was looking for some reference material, I found a convenient Agency for Cultural Affairs official service ' Copyright Contract Creation Support System ' that creates a contract template just by entering the contract type and contract details. ”, so I actually tried using it.
