Copyright Clearance
Need to clear the rights for your upcoming production?
Intellectual property law is a complex and constantly evolving area of law. Right clearance is the process of getting permission to use materials protected by copyright, trademark, or privacy laws. When creating a project, it is essential to obtain licenses for the sound, lyrics, video clips, logos, slogans, photographs, graphics, designs, writing, and any other materials that may be protected by copyright . Failure to do so can result in costly litigation against you which could put your project at risk.
How does right clearance work?
Typically, rights clearance starts with finding out whether there are existing materials that need clearing, and identifying which of those materials are. Once you’ve made this determination, your clearance department (or an outside lawyer for small productions) should obtain written releases from all relevant parties before beginning anything related to production--all just so no legal trouble occurs further down the road!
