For creator-led businesses

The creator. The brand.
The business.

A personal identity can be commercially valuable to a venture. Clear arrangements should address what the business owns, what it licenses and how the people behind it work together.

Choosing and protecting the brand

Consider trademark clearance, filings, ownership of the name and logo, and permissions for using a creator’s identity.

Founders, ownership and decisions

Document the relationship between founders, their roles and the arrangements for the business and its intellectual property.

Creating the brand’s assets

Address ownership and permitted use in agreements with designers, agencies, photographers and other contributors.

Commercial relationships

Review the agreements through which the business works with collaborators, agencies and other commercial partners.

Licensing and brand extensions

Define how the brand, content or creator identity may be used for merchandise, new products or collaborations.

Brand misuse and disputes

Assess unauthorised use, contractual disagreements and the rights and evidence relevant to a response.
