Description

Everything is being tokenized and NFTs have exploded in popularity. More and more industries are recognizing the benefits of NFTs. Over $8.8 billion was reportedly spent on NFTs in 2024. While NFTs have presented opportunities for IP owners, they have also resulted in potential problems.

Rights clearance is an essential step when considering licensing. It is important to have the right to create an NFT associated with the underlying asset. If there is no right, the right must be obtained before creating, licensing, or selling the NFT.

Among the key considerations when clearing rights is a thorough due diligence to verify what rights to the content exist and what steps need to be taken to get the necessary permissions to gain the rights. Further, if the NFT depicts an NIL, it is important to understand the various governing laws and policies in order to ensure compliance.

Listen as our authoritative panel of IP attorneys examines the key considerations related to rights clearance and NFTs, including the rights in the underlying asset, transfer of rights, NIL, and terms of service. The panel will offer best practices for rights clearance.
