COPYRIGHT CLEARANCE

 

​Companies intending to use music, text and images in projects may be subject to copyright, trademark and other intellectual property and personal rights of third parties.

​

Users must ensure that all appropriate licenses and permissions to use third-party content are in place. This process is known as “copyright clearance.”

​​

As the digital landscape evolves, copyright clearance requirements are becoming more complex. 

​

Don't let copyright clearances complicate your creative process. Licensing Associates has the experience and expertise to manage all of your clearance needs.
