Who holds copyright?

However, there is also a dispute over the copyright to the Sandecja stadium's new project. The former investment contractor, with whom the city terminated the contract, issued a statement to the media. In the statement, they accuse the city of conducting partial finishing works on the stadium unlawfully. Blackbird company president Jan Kos maintains that they exclusively own the project's rights. This statement is a reaction to the words of Deputy Mayor Artur Bochenek of Nowy Sącz, who recently asserted that the copyright issue regarding the project is settled.

Let me reiterate once again that we truly possess full copyright to this facility. This has been confirmed by the legal opinion of a doctor habilitated from the Jagiellonian University. We have never considered this a controversy. We knew we had the rights, they were paid for, and everything was executed in accordance with the provisions and terms of the contract, Deputy Mayor Artur Bochenek said.

However, the former contractor attached a copy of a letter from the city's company to the project authors, requesting the acquisition of copyright. According to the Blackbird president, this action by the city acknowledges that they do not have full rights to the project.
