How can I get the publishing rights from a book publisher?

Question

I want to start a publishing company that will translate and publish foreign books. How can I get the rights from the publishers in order to publish the books in my country? What are the most frequent terms of such an agreement?

Answer 1

This entirely depends on the contract between the owner of such rights and the purchaser. Publishing rights can be sliced as thickly or as thinly as the rights holder wishes. Due diligence is in order for all intellectual property transactions
