What are definitively non-distributable rights?

Royalties that we cannot assign to a rightholder – 36 months after the end of the financial year in which the invoicing took place – are the subject of a specific annual distribution. 

For each type of distribution, the definitive non-distributable rights are allocated to all rightholders of that distribution. Your share is calculated pro rata to the rights paid to you during the year of the distribution concerned. 

This rule can be found in article 40 of our general regulations (Dutch - French).
