Copyright Licensing Due Diligence Checklist

A Copyright Licensing Due Diligence Checklist is a document used to assess the legal, financial, and operational risks and benefits of licensing a copyrighted work. It typically includes questions and requests for information about the ownership, validity, scope, and enforceability of the copyright, the terms and conditions of the proposed license, the market demand and competition for the work, and the licensee’s ability to exploit and protect the work. The checklist can help the licensor to make informed decisions about whether and how to license the work and to negotiate favorable terms.
