French term or phrase: Diffusion
Hi everyone,

I have always translated this term as "disseminate" or "publish" or sometimes both. However, I'm working on a contract involving IP rights for a range of promotional material being assigned to the client, and I'm starting to wonder whether "broadcast" would be appropriate in an IP context, although obviously not used in this way in normal parlance. Here's the sentence:

X autorise gracieusement par la présente, le Client à utiliser, reproduire et diffuser tous les éléments rédigés et préparés par lui dans le cadre de l’exécution des prestations objet des présentes et notamment les photographies, dessins, logos, slogans, textes, etc.

Cheers,
Nick
