The ESRB rating system encompasses guidance about age-appropriateness, content, and interactive elements. As part of its self-regulatory role for the video game industry the ESRB also enforces industry-adopted advertising guidelines and helps ensure responsible web and mobile privacy practices under its Privacy Certified program. ESRB was established in 1994 by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA).]]> 2016-09-27 08:15:43 UTC https://padlet.com/542859/12dwa0b2aih5/wish/126579224 https://padlet.com/542859/12dwa0b2aih5/wish/126579263 Development Agreements:
Game publishers often hire game developers to create games for them. A development agreement is a contract that spells out the terms of the development deal.
Terms- This part of the agreement spells out how much the publishers will pay the developer, what timeframe the developer has to develop the game, and if there will be royalties, what the royalty rate.
Ownership- It's important to calrify whether the publisher own the IP or the developers own it.
Warranties- The developing company has to swear that it won't use anybody else's source code and the publishing company has to swear that it has the right to ask the developer to create this particular game.

When a publisher wants to make a game about a movie or something, the publisher and the movie IP owner execute a contract spelling out the terms of the license.
What's Being Linensed- The contract probably specifies that the publisher only has the right to make a game that works on the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3.
Terrority- The contract specifies what parts of the world the publisher's game will be published in. Publishers always want worldwide rights, of course -  but licensors often charge them more for that.
Term- The contract probably doesn't run forever. Most license agreements run no more than 5 years.

IP - Intellectual property: 
Intellectual property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce. IP is divided into two categories:  Industrial property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs, and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works, artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and architectural designs.  Rights related to copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and television programs. Since intellectual property is intangible, it is more difficult to protect than other types of property. For example, tangible property, such as a car, can be recovered or replaced if it is stolen. However, if intellectual property is stolen, it may be difficult to recover. Say for example, a person comes up with a great idea for a new invention. If someone else steals the idea, the potential profit of the invention may also be taken away. Similarly, if a digital recording of a new song is "leaked" on the Internet, thousands of people may download it and redistribute it to others. If this happens, the profit potential of selling the music may be substantially diminished. 
Because of its monetary implications, intellectual property it is often used as a legal term to safeguard the rights of creators and inventors. It has also become increasingly important to media production companies who need to protect the distribution of their digital media. By defining and establishing intellectual property rights, innovators and creators can have legal protection of their ideas and creations. This may be done by copyrighting written works, applying for patents for inventions, and trademarking brands, names, and logos. Of course, the sooner these legal steps are taken, the safer is it. After all, it is much easier to protect an idea before it is stolen than after someone else takes it!]]> 2016-09-27 08:17:29 UTC https://padlet.com/542859/12dwa0b2aih5/wish/126579493
