Merchandise Licensing Agreement
In 1992 I entered into a licensing
agreement (since misplaced) to
produce, manufacture and
distribute home videos and other
merchandise related to a locally
produced TV program. The
agreement was with the artist who
owns rights to video archives,
naming, etc... Terms were to pay
33% of profit in royalties to
artist/rights owner. I created and
distributed 4 videos for retail and
paid royalty to the owner under
agreement terms. Fast forward to
today...
I now learn that 3 of the video
titles I produced are now being
packaged together with another
program I did not produce, and are
being sold as a compilation. The 3
titles I produced are included in
their entirety. It has become a
strong seller for the business that
is selling them. They are also selling
other related merchandise I
produced under the license
agreement.
Without being able to locate my
copy of the agreement, would you
think I have some rights to the sale
of my productions?
