01 · Check the fit

## When this service fits

### You are preparing a mint

Buyers need a clear account of the rights, access and restrictions that come with the NFT.

### Several creators or brands are involved

The chain of permissions needs to match what the project plans to sell or license.

### You operate the marketplace

Fees, royalties, listings, takedowns and disputes need clear rules.

02 · What we can help with

### Buyer-rights map

Set out the access, use, resale and commercial permissions described in the sale.

### IP and creator review

Review artwork, brand, music, code and contributor permissions supporting the collection.

03 · How to get started

## What to bring

Start with what you have. These details help frame the first discussion.

Send the basics

- Creator, brand and content-permission records
- Sale terms, royalty model and marketplace rules

Then define the scope

### Focus the first conversation on the decision you need to make.

IP ownership and enforceability need assessment under the relevant documents and law. The review does not guarantee royalty collection or prevent infringement.

04 · Common questions

## Common questions

Does buying the NFT also transfer copyright?

The NFT transfer and the transfer or licence of underlying IP are separate questions. The documents and applicable law need to establish what the buyer receives.

Can you review royalty promises?

Yes. The review compares the stated royalty model with the marketplace mechanics, agreements and limits that need to be explained.

What if contributors used third-party or AI-generated assets?

The source, permissions and relevant tool or contributor terms should be included in the IP review rather than assumed to be clear.

## Are your NFT rights clear to buyers?

Share what you are selling, who created it and what buyers are being promised.
