First IP in Animation Lab wrapped up!
We just finished up the first edition of the IP in Animation Lab, organized with our partners CEE Animation Forum iz Plzen.
The short Lab provided information to industry professionals about IP management in animation. The programme was focusing on development of the IP, its protection and subsequent licensing, content and formats, potential distribution channels for animated IP, marketing and global sales. The insights were provided by international professionals, such as IP lawyer Pelin Turan (L’altra Terra, IT/TU), Cristina Angelucci (Animation Journal/Licensing Magazine, IT), Irene Sparre (Sparre Productions, DK) and Sandra Lanc (Animotion Media Group, SI/UAE).
The Lab offered concrete insight into possibilities of commercialization of creative content and to encourage producers to think about IP diversification. The second part of the Lab was complimented with a CEE Animation Forum programme Focus on Series.
