Dear PAN Members,

Following Jennifer Easton’s post last week, I received quite a number of requests to share information about Licensing Agreements.  Rather than respond to each individually, I’m providing this general information document to the list as I imagine there are others who might find it helpful.  To be clear, this is not a form agreement that you can simply fill in the blanks and use.  This is a document that provides an annotated checklist of common terms in Licensing Agreements.  Each situation is unique and you should have your counsel review and approve the terms of your specific agreement.  I hope this document will be a useful resource in helping you to understand the structure and scope of Licensing Agreements.

Best,
Sarah

Hi Jennifer & Sarah,

 

Jennifer, thank you for bringing this question up. I have a similar situation where an artist and I are interested in developing merchandise using the artist’s design (tote bags, t-shirts, etc.) to be sold online and possible in the airport gift shops. We have never entered into a licensing agreement with one of our public artist before so I would greatly appreciate any reference materials you can provide. Thank you.

 

Best,

We did a really interesting embed for a class with a local art college. When the students presented their projects, they had a really great transit geeky t-shirt design - and now some people internally want to do a limited run t-shirt with the design to sell in the BART transit store (yup, actually exists).

I haven't had to do licensing agreement before - and because this is not something BART commissioned it's really a straight up licensing where artists will keep all copyright etc.

Anyone, have a licensing agreement that they might be able to share. I'd rather start with something that has been generated by a more art-savvy/artist-friendly crowd than asking transit attorneys 😊

Much appreciated,

Jennifer
