Scripts based on real stories, a Warhol poster in the background of a scene, and a protagonist humming a Robbie Wiliams 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. The teaching will combine theoretical and practical work on the case including best practises and strategies.

Topics include:

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: case studies in different national jurisdictions
learing from the US: rights clearance management at a US Major.

Fees: regular participation including accommodation and meals will cost €1,250 or €770 excluding accommodation and meals. A second person from the same company will pay €900, €500 excluding accommodation and meals. Scholarships available.
