Merchandising and Ancillary Exploitation

Frankel Lawyers are active in assisting clients to identify and exploit their merchandising and ancillary rights

We are regularly retained to offer advice on merchandising and ancillary exploitation in relation to:

• live events
• film
• television
• music
• video
• clothing and fashion
• animation
• computer games
• mobile phone and on-line content
• publicity
• sub-licensing
• publishing
• sport
• other general commercial and intellectual property aspects of international and national product distribution.

Our ability to advise in these disparate areas draws on our extensive bank of knowledge and experience with the underlying and ancillary rights such as:

• copyright
• trade marks
• performer's rights
• licensing
• and general commercial terms in contractual negotiations

We act for many clients in the entertainment, media, sport and new technology industries providing advice about the development of new media forms to be exploited locally and internationally.
