Welcome to the CCC / RightsDirect Collaboration Portal

Copyright Clearance Center and RightsDirect annual license holders can use this online portal to extend your license coverage to collaborative projects with other licensees. 

What is the Collaboration License?

The Collaboration License is an amendment to your organization's Annual Copyright License and/or Multinational Copyright License. It provides extended coverage that allows project team members from your company and another CCC-licensed organization to collaborate with one another using published research and other content in the annual license repertory as part of their joint efforts within a project-specific work group. Learn about the Collaboration License and how to use it in this short video.
