Intellectual Property Release Form (IPR Form)

An Intellectual Property Release Form (IPR Form) must be completed, signed and dated for every new order. It is an industry standard indemnity form where you state if you have the right to manufacture the content on your disc. The IPR Form is included as part of our project Order Forms, so you don't need to download it separately.

Does Your Master Contain Someone Else's Intellectual Property?

If you are using someone else's intellectual property from CD, DVD, television, movie, radio, etc., you will require licensing for the right to use that original content. This applies to audio/music/sounds as well as video, and examples include 'samples' and 'sound bytes' regardless of how short the duration is.
 
Important: Taking a sample or sound-byte (regardless of duration) and altering it in any way does not make it your original composition. Licensing is still required any time you have used content or a creation that is not completely your own.
 
Important: If you use someone else's video content that includes 'sound' you will likely have to deal with the licensing of the video and the audio/sound separately.
