Contracts • IP • Review Boundaries

Legal & Governance

Governance for authorship, chain of title, publishing agreements, representation, adaptation, licensing, collaboration, confidentiality, and outside-counsel review.

Attorney Review

Use professional legal review for option, shopping, collaboration, publishing, and production contracts.

Entity Boundary

Separate personal authorship, Aurora Design Studios operations, and project-specific IP records.

Disclosure Boundary

Public pages remain non-confidential.

Agreements requiring deliberate review

Agency agreement

Commission, scope, term, termination, post-termination commission, expense approval, collections, delegated rights work, and conflict provisions.

Publishing agreement

Grant of rights, delivery and acceptance, advance, royalties, reserves, statements, audit, publication deadline, option, non-compete, warranty, indemnity, and reversion.

Option or shopping agreement

Property, media, territory, exclusivity, option term, extensions, purchase price, reserved rights, consultation, credit, sequel/remake rights, and reversion.

Collaboration or vendor agreement

Authorship, ownership, work product, license, confidentiality, credit, compensation, source files, approvals, and termination.

Legal review pipeline

Identify

Record parties, authority, property, requested rights, deadlines, and the current draft.

Compare

Map proposed language against Aurora’s retained-rights and publication standards.

Review

Use the agent for commercial negotiation and independent counsel when legal risk or complexity warrants it.

Execute & track

Sign final copies, store amendments, calendar obligations, monitor payments, and preserve reversion evidence.

Entity and authorship boundary: company operations, personal authorship, copyrights, licensed assets, third-party references, and project-specific agreements must remain traceable rather than being treated as one undefined pool of “Aurora IP.”
Not legal advice: this public page states governance principles. Actual agreements require review based on their facts, jurisdiction, and final wording.

Legal or rights inquiry

Identify the represented party, matter, property, and requested action.
