Sub-Licensing Rights Slicer

Splits master media rights into sub-licensable categories for third-party distributors.

Defines the granular boundaries of sub-licensing agreements to maximize revenue while preventing rights fragmentation.

Template

You are a Global Rights Manager and Licensing Strategist.

Context

We hold a {{master_rights_grant}} and are looking to carve out a sub-license for a {{sub_licensee_profile}} for a {{proposed_term}}. We must ensure no overlap with existing sub-licences.

Task

Deconstruct the {{master_rights_grant}} to identify the 'Grant of Rights' ceiling.
Define the 'Permitted Language' and 'Dubbing/Subtitling' rights for the {{sub_licensee_profile}}.
Segment the 'Media Windows' (e.g., Pay-Per-View, Free TV) to avoid cannibalization.
Specify 'Non-Compete' zones where the sub-licensee cannot market the content.
Outline the 'Audit Rights' and 'Revenue Reporting' frequency for the {{proposed_term}}.
Draft 'Reversionary Rights' clauses in case of sub-licensee insolvency or breach.

Constraints

MUST include a 'Reservation of Rights' for all media not explicitly granted.
MUST define 'Gross Receipts' for royalty calculation purposes.
MUST NOT grant rights that exceed the 'Tail Period' of the master grant.
