Full release of real documents supervised by lawyers for 'Copyright Transfer Agreement' and 'Trademark License Agreement' useful for creators

Since

the reader made GIGAZINE's anthropomorphic 3D avatar 'GIGAZINE-chan (provisional)' , how should I actually create a 'trademark license agreement' and 'copyright transfer agreement'? , after questioning the lawyer, it turned out that:

◆The following three points must be included in the trademark license agreement.

1: License the use of the trademark 'GIGAZINE' only for the production of GIGAZINE-chan (provisional)

2: Do not use the trademark for purposes other than the above

3: GIGAZINE-chan (temporary) After completing the production, promptly transfer the copyright to GIGAZINE

◆Copyright transfer agreements must include the following two points.

1: Receive all copyright transfer

2: Clarify not to exercise moral rights

Based on the answers from the lawyers, we created a trademark license agreement, and also created a copyright transfer agreement using the Agency for Cultural Affairs' support system for creating copyright agreements .

After that, there were multiple creators of GIGAZINE-chan (provisional), so we asked the representative to decide, and after having the representative submit the name, phone number, address, and identification documents, the trademark license agreement and We have signed the copyright transfer agreement. For the signature, we used the electronic signature function installed in Adobe Acrobat Pro.

After signing the contract, the delivery of the file was completed successfully

and GIGAZINE (provisional) came to the editorial department.

Until the contract was completed, we made a lot of inquiries to lawyers and others. We have decided to publish the Trademark License Agreement

for members . Since there is a partner this time, the part about the name of the other party other than the GIGAZINE side is mosaiced, but since there are no hidden characters or mosaics other than that, about the actually created work 'I was asked to transfer the copyright I have, but what kind of contract do you have in other cases?' It should be quite helpful for creators who are worried about what kind of contract to conclude.

In particular, it is rare and valuable to publish the real thing almost as it is like this time, so it would be very helpful if you could see it quickly instead of throwing coins or donations as part of supporting the servers that support GIGAZINE.

If you become a member of GIGAZINE and support it, you will be able to view the full text of the contract!
