Clause 4
(d) The teams retain certain rights such as the right to produce and market their own
merchandise as well as computer games.
Clause 4.1
(b) defines FIA rights as all rights that are or become lawfully vested in and held by
or on behalf of FIA including all rights granted by the teams.
(d)(vii) The right to obtain sponsorship and advertising in respect of a particular team's
participation is reserved to that team.
Clause 4.2
(a) The teams grant to FIA on an exclusive basis the rights in, and ancillary to, their performance, the performance of
all cars, machines, equipment and persons connected to the teams (including the drivers).
(b) as well as the rights in the formula one events.
Clause 4.2 also appears to cover:
- the right of FOA to use images of the teams and cars in computer games,
- the right of FOA to use images of the teams and cars for promotional material (such as
photographs for posters, tickets, etc.)
Clause 4.10
The teams have no rights to the championship elements, i.e. to any film footage of the relevant events and any official
timing information, intellectual property rights,
trade names, logos or other indicia owned by or on behalf of and/or vested in FIA and/or FOA.
[1, 15]
During the events of the EU court case, 1999 to 2001 (Ref [1]), regarding the possible abuse of competition (ie a monopoly
on broadcasting rights), it appears that the FIA offered as a compromise, to waive its rights to clause 4.2.
I couldnt find any references as to whether this waiver is actually now in force.
