About this material

Owning an NFT does not automatically mean owning the copyright in the artwork it points to, and this is one of the most commonly misunderstood areas of the NFT space. This pack explains the key ideas in plain language and provides template documents you can study and adapt. It covers the difference between owning a token and owning the rights to a work, common types of licence such as personal use and commercial use, how to describe what a holder may and may not do, and points to agree in writing when several people collaborate on a collection. Each template is accompanied by notes explaining the purpose of every clause. Laws differ between countries and change over time, so the pack encourages you to seek advice from a qualified professional before relying on any document. It is general educational information and does not constitute legal advice.
