Scripts based on real stories, a Warhol poster in the background of a scene, and a protagonist humming a Robbie Williams song - not all rights contained in a script or a film are that obvious. Only a detailed analysis can avoid cost-intensive pitfalls. Rights Clearance is becoming increasingly important, both nationally and internationally. This seminar and workshop offers the practical knowledge to identify and clear rights fast and effectively. Teaching will combine theoretical and practical work on the case including best practices and strategies.

Topics

  • Clearing personality rights
  • Everybody's nightmare? Clearing music rights
  • Trademarks and artworks in film and TV
  • Who is paying? How E & O insurance work
  • Global perspective: Cases in different national jurisdictions
  • Learning from the US: Rights clearance management at a US Major
