Understanding Copyright, Contracts and Licensing

The workshop will explore the importance of understanding copyrights and contracts while acquiring or licensing rights. The workshop would be divided into three parts:
Part one will focus on copyright. This section shall cover the following in detail:
What is copyright? Why is it important to clear permission for use of any ‘copyrighted material’? Things to keep in mind while preparing a permission letter.

Part two will focus on negotiating terms of a license and drawing up a licensing agreement. This section would lead you through the important clauses that one should keep in mind while preparing or negotiating a licensing agreement (validity, territory, rights and subsidiary rights, advance, royalties etc.).

Part three would be a Q&A session where the queries of the participants would be answered.
