Document background
The Illustration Licensing Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument in the Philippine creative industry, designed to protect both illustrators' rights and licensees' interests. This document is essential when an artist or rights holder wishes to grant specific usage rights for their illustrations while retaining ownership under Philippine intellectual property law. The agreement typically comes into play for commercial publications, advertising campaigns, digital media, and merchandising purposes. It comprehensively addresses key aspects such as scope of use, territorial limitations, duration, compensation, and compliance with local regulations, particularly the Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. The document is structured to accommodate various licensing scenarios, from single-illustration usage to extensive illustration portfolios, and can be adapted for both exclusive and non-exclusive licensing arrangements.
