Work With Established Characters and Franchises

When you work with us on IP licensing, you're gaining a partner who understands both the creative possibilities and legal realities of working with established properties. We bridge the gap between your arcade game vision and the requirements of IP holders.

You'll move through the licensing process with clarity about what's possible, what's required, and what it costs. Instead of navigating unfamiliar legal territory alone, you'll have someone who's done this before, who knows the common pitfalls and how to avoid them.

The result is a licensing agreement that works for your project. You'll understand the terms, the restrictions, the royalty structures, and the approval processes. You'll have documentation that ensures you're using the IP correctly and maintaining compliance with brand guidelines.

This service is about removing uncertainty from a complex process, so you can focus on creating a game that honors the property while delivering an engaging arcade experience.

We start by understanding your project and what you need from the licensing relationship. Are you looking for character rights? Setting and world elements? Storylines? Full franchise integration? Knowing exactly what you need helps us target the right conversations with IP holders.

Our relationships with major IP holders across entertainment industries give us direct access to the people who make licensing decisions. We know their processes, their typical requirements, and what matters most to them in licensing negotiations.

When we facilitate negotiations on your behalf, we're working to create agreements that serve your project goals while meeting the IP holder's needs. We review contracts to ensure terms are clear and fair. We help structure royalty arrangements that align with your business model. We identify potential issues before they become problems.

Throughout the process, we handle the documentation, compliance requirements, and brand guideline implementation. You'll know what you can and cannot do with the IP. You'll have systems in place to maintain compliance. And if disputes arise, we provide support to resolve them efficiently.

This investment covers comprehensive support through the IP licensing process, from initial IP holder identification through final contract negotiation and ongoing compliance monitoring. It represents professional guidance that protects your interests while facilitating successful licensing relationships.

Emotionally, this service provides peace of mind. You'll have confidence that your licensing relationship is properly structured, that you're protected from common pitfalls, and that someone with experience is watching out for your interests throughout the process.

Practically, you're avoiding the costs that come from licensing mistakes: project delays from contract issues, budget overruns from unexpected royalty structures, or worst case, losing access to the IP partway through development because of compliance violations.

Note: This service fee is separate from any royalty payments or licensing fees owed to IP holders. Those costs vary significantly based on the property, usage scope, and negotiated terms. We'll provide clear guidance on expected IP holder costs during our initial consultation.

We understand that IP licensing involves uncertainty and investment. That's why we start with a straightforward conversation about your project and whether pursuing licensed properties makes sense for your specific situation.

During our initial consultation, we'll be honest about the feasibility of licensing the properties you're interested in. If your budget doesn't align with typical licensing costs for a particular franchise, or if the IP holder isn't currently licensing in the arcade space, we'll tell you that upfront.

Our commitment is to facilitate the licensing process professionally and advocate for your interests in negotiations. We can't guarantee that every negotiation will succeed—IP holders make their own decisions about licensing—but we can guarantee that we'll handle the process with care and transparency.

If we identify issues in proposed contracts or spot potential compliance problems, we bring them to your attention immediately. Our goal is to help you make informed decisions about licensing agreements, not to push you into deals that don't serve your project.
