I was given this information today : se trata del “titular (dueño del copyright) otorgante (que otorga, que cede (en este caso derechos de explotación, a la entidad)

Eileen Brophy (asker) Sep 19, 2019:

Titular de la obra = Owner of Works of art El titular otorgante” se refiere al propietario de la obra, quien la otorga o cede a cambio de algo (por lo general compensación económica, lógicamente) y sigue “deberá registrar en la Sociedad las obras sobre las que ostente algún derecho inmediatamente de ser explotadas en alguna de las formas contempladas en estos Estatutos"

"grantor owner" is a term that appears in many contracts. Please, google the term to see if it is the appropriate one.

I meant take another look through your document to see if you can find out more information that would help us see what it is this "titular" is "otorgando" and perhaps to what they are "otorgando". That way, you'll probably find a more appropriate translation than the one you first came to.

In your question you said, "but granting holder doesn't sound very good to me". This may appear obvious, but if you think about why it doesn't sound very good to you, I would imagine it's because it's too vague. It doesn't really give you any information. Holding what? Granting what?

There may be a perfectly suitable term of art for this, but without more information, I don't know how else to help you.

@Robert Carter What do you mean by "keep going" Robert? I still do not know how to translate "otorgante" or am I being thick?

Robert Carter Sep 18, 2019:

Great, so you've ruled out one possibility: "titular" clearly doesn't mean "holder" here, let alone "grant holder". Now, keep going...

@Robert Carter The "titular" is the creator/owner of a piece of music, poetry or a film, it is all related to artistic creativity and legal rights.

Robert Carter Sep 18, 2019:

@Eileen There are a number of ways to translate these two terms, but you first need to understand what each refers to in the context of your document, i.e., what is this person the "titular" of, and what is it that he/she/it is "otorgando". Titular could mean the owner/holder of an asset, or the holder of a position/post. Otorgar could mean to grant/assign or it could mean to execute/sign.
Your context doesn't provide the information needed to confirm which should be used, but I would imagine your document contains that information in some form or other.
