Film Licensing

Film licensing refers to the legal permission granted to use a film or its elements (like characters, music, or scenes) for specific purposes. This can include showing the film in theaters, distributing it on DVD or streaming platforms, or using clips for trailers or advertisements. Filmmakers and studios retain copyright ownership and control how their work is used. Licensing agreements outline the terms, including rights, duration, and fees, ensuring that the original creators are compensated and that their work is respected. It's essential for protecting intellectual property in the film industry.
