From offices in both Ontario and Massachusetts we... • analyze scripts then produce clearance reports • locate rights holders • conduct pre-merchandising character name searches • prepare title searches We specialize in preparing clearance reports which are usually required to secure errors & omissions insurance coverage for film and television productions. These reports identify those elements in the script which may expose a production to claims such as invasion of privacy, libel, copyright and trademark infringement. Our reports suggest solutions to potential problems and contain detailed contact information for rights holders where necessary. We provide title searches which also are usually required for e&o coverage. A title search is a research report that shows the history of the use of the title you have selected for your production, showing the extent of its use in many media such as film, television, publishing, music, etc. A good title search includes enough sources to give you confidence that your movie will not be confused with another when it is ready for release. Our extensive character name checking sources and trademark directories are particularly useful for the producer who intends to create a merchandise line featuring the characters in a production.
