RIGHTS MANAGEMENT
Technology has made it easy for anyone to create and distribute content. It has also made it easy to share and “borrow” others’ creative work.
We exist in a culture where duplicating or repurposing content is common, but not always legal. When the “It’s free. I found it on the internet” mentality spills into a professional environment, the ramifications of copyright infringement and unauthorized use can be costly.
The TEAM Companies provide thorough ownership research, negotiation for licensing & permissions and license agreement review for use of the following:
- Photography.
- Video/Film clips.
- Stock Footage.
- Specialty props & wardrobe.
- Artwork.
- Logos/Icons/mascots and other corporate identifiers.
- Personal likeness.
- Quote.
- Locations.
- Unique Design Elements (i.e. lighting design on the Eiffel Tower).
Rights Management Technology
The TEAM On-Line Client System’s (TOCS) Rights Management portal is designed to help you manage:
- Tracking talent use & expirations.
- Tracking all licensed elements in a project.
- Entering essential metadata information related to conditions of use of that element.
- Uploading reference versions of the asset.
- Uploading copies of key documents.
- Generating custom reports.
TOCS users can log in here.
OPEN API:
TTC has created an open API so that TOCS can interface with Distribution and Digital Asset Management (DAM) systems. This feature allows:
- Client notification when the use of a performer or licensed element has expired or is about to expire.
- Metadata entered by producers or business affairs personnel can be transferred to designated DAM system and attached to final asset.
