Hi all,
I was after a bit of advice from the collective knowledge.
I work out of the UK and I have paid a guy in Vietnam to do all of the art work for a game of mine. He has done a bang up job for me and I’m very happy with it. The work was produced under the general understanding that I would retain full commercial rights to it. The artist has said that he is happy to sign any agreement that I send him with regards to intellectual property. So what should the agreement contain? I have a general idea that it should say that I have ‘exclusive’ rights to the work and that I can also ‘sub licence’ it should I want to licence my game with all of the art. I don’t want to go to a lawyer as their fee would probably exceed the game budget so far.
So does anyone have any further advice on IP licencing, access to useful resources, or even better a template of a water tight agreement?
Ked
Thanks man I recon i'll base somthing around that.
