Pharmaceutical and Medical Companies

We make using copyright content simple for the pharmaceutical sector. Look at the benefits in these licences - available exclusively to the pharmaceutical and medical sector.

CLA Pharmaceutical Licence

Copying from digital e-books, journals and website plus print books, journals and magazines

This licence provides annual blanket copying cover so you don’t have to seek permissions from copyright owners each time you copy.

  • Make copies from publications from the UK and 38 international territories
  • Copy up to one article, chapter or 5% of the total - whichever is greater
  • Circulate press cuttings or fee-paid documents in digital or print form
  • External sharing of single licensed digital and print copies for medical information, legal proceedings, regulatory submissions and patent applications
  • Store digital copies in a local product or project based database (including long term dim archives for regulatory purposes)
  • Outsource permissions to an onsite or offsite third party contractor

Although the licence will cover any employee, the fee that you pay is based on the number of your 'Professional Employees'* only.  

Rate Card
Rates effective March 2019

Professional Employee Rate Minimum fee
£58.10 + VAT £490.00 + VAT per licence

For example, if you have 100 total employees and 20 of those are identified as Professional Employees, the annual fee for the Digital Pharmaceutical Licence would be 20 x £58.10 = £1,162.00 + VAT.

*NB: For the purposes of the fee calculation 'Professional Employee' is defined as: ‘Directors, officers or employees (other than sales representatives) of the licensee who are graduates or who hold an equivalent qualification.’
