Illustration Licensing
Hi,
I'm going to be licensing an illustration of mine to a company for one-time use. I would like to be able to license the same illustration at the same time to other companies, should the occasion arise. I was hoping to buy a licensing contract through FindLegalForms, but want to make sure that I can add language that would allow me to license to multiple companies at the same time. Do I just need to stipulate that this contract is not exclusive?
Thanks.
Re: Illustration Licensing
No. You must stipulate that this is NOT a work for hire and that all copyright ownership is retained by you. This is a non-exclusive one time use for which they will not own any further rights to use your illustration. I would stipulate that and indicate the time and use parameters carefully. (Legal forms are ok for standard contracts, but IP issues, especially in the flux area of copyrights are often a potential trap for the unwary. Good luck.
call me if you have questions.
