About this Event
OMPA & Miller Nash - LEGAL SERIES
Workshop 1 — Chain of Title
A practical, creator‑focused guide to building a clean, defensible chain of title—the foundation that determines who owns a project and whether it can be sold, licensed, distributed, or financed. We’ll cover the essentials: establishing ownership, securing underlying rights, and ensuring contributors properly grant the rights you need. Whether you’re producing film, TV, podcasts, video games, commercials, or online content, this workshop helps you spot chain‑of‑title gaps early and adopt sound, consistent housekeeping practices so ownership issues don’t derail distribution, financing, or release.
