Rights and permissions
An inquiry is not a license.
The public experience should make the difference between asking about a right and receiving written permission unmistakable.
01 / Identify
Describe the asset
A rights review starts with the specific name, mark, work, or material a person wants to use.
02 / Review
Confirm authority
Ownership, chain of title, and the reviewer's authority must be supported before a permission decision.
03 / Decide
Record the written terms
No request, page view, or conversation grants rights. An approved agreement is required where applicable.
A careful licensing path
Define the proposed use before terms are discussed.
A future inquiry route can collect only the information needed to review a proposed use, and only after a staffed recipient is approved.
Scope
What would be used?
Identify the material and the specific proposed context rather than asking for broad access.
Boundaries
Where and for how long?
Territory, format, audience, and duration belong in a reviewed agreement, not an assumed entitlement.
Permission requires a decision
