Michael Shortt, Lawyer and Trademark Agent


This presentation will take you through an example indie publishing contract from top to bottom. We have assembled a mock publishing agreement based on multiple real-life indie contracts that Fasken has worked on recently so that you can see the types of clauses that get included in real-world contracts.

We will go through that contract clause-by-clause and comment on what works, what doesn’t, and what developers should look out for when negotiating their deals. Attendees will come away with a clearer understanding of how to read and negotiate publishing contracts and how to protect their revenue share and IP in their negotiations with publishers.
