When you sell a physical piece of art to a client, unless stipulated in the
contract, you still own the copyright to that artwork. Meaning you can monetize,
sell or license the copyright to generate income. Thereby earning revenue from
your creative IP on top of selling the physical iteration of your artwork.
Seminal allows you to upload images of your unique artworks and set prices and
rules for how your IP is used.

Through copyright licensing and sales, Seminal allows galleries to work with the
artists they represent to commercialize artwork beyond traditional sales. You
can decide with the artist the commission you will receive for managing this
process, meaning selling and licensing with Seminal works just like sales
through your gallery or agency. It also means your artists' works are listed
publicly on a register, whether you decide to commercialize the rights or not.

Estates manage an enormous and important body of work, but once all your
artists' pieces are sold, there are often few opportunities to continue their
legacy. Seminal helps you commercialize your catalogs at scale by offering the
chance to sell or license the copyrights associated with those works, even after
the physical pieces are sold.

SELLING THE COPYRIGHTS TO YOUR ARTWORK IS A NEW OPPORTUNITY

Seminal worked with legal experts, artists, estates, curators, and technologists
to perfect the process of digitally registering and commercializing IP for
artists and copyright holders. Here are some frequent questions and insights.


WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?

The term 'intellectual property' or 'IP' refers to the output of creative and
intellectual processes. The most common types of IP are patents, trademarks,
copyrights, and trade secrets. Understanding how they work and how they are
created is critical to knowing how to protect them, why they are valuable, and
how to monetize them.


DOES ART FALL UNDER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY?

Yes. When an artist creates a painting, the artist owns both the copyright in
the artwork, and the physical artwork. Ownership of the copyright is an
intellectual property right. Ownership of the physical artwork is a personal
property right. The sale of the physical artwork does not transfer the
copyrights in the artwork. Likewise, transferring the copyright does not
necessarily transfer the personal property rights to the physical artwork.


DO I HAVE TO REGISTER MY COPYRIGHT?

Copyright is free and automatic. Copyright automatically protects your work from
the moment you express your creation in 'material form'. Once you draw a sketch
on paper, paint a picture on canvas, write a story, or record a video on a
smartphone, it is protected by copyright. By publishing your copyright with
Seminal's public register, you are publicizing your ownership, which is the
first step in protecting, licensing and selling the copyrights to your artwork.


HOW LONG DOES COPYRIGHT LAST?

Copyright lasts for the lifetime of the creator, plus 70 years. When copyright
expires, the material becomes part of the 'public domain', and is free for
anyone to use, for any purpose. Before such time, copyright gives you the right
to make and sell copies of the material, and with your consent the copyright
ownership and exclusive rights can be sold and transferred.


WHY WOULD I SELL THE COPYRIGHT TO AN ARTWORK?

Essentially for the same reason you would sell the physical artwork, to generate
income. In many cases, the copyright to an artwork can be more valuable than the
physical artwork, allowing the artist or copyright holder to generate
substantial income from the creative material.


WHY WOULD SOMEONE BUY THE COPYRIGHT TO MY ARTWORK?

When an artist sells physical artwork, the copyrights in the artwork do not
transfer to the purchaser. Therefore, the purchaser of the physical artwork may
want to also acquire the copyright to the artwork. Alternatively, a third party
may want to buy the copyright for the exclusive rights it provides such as
including the right to copy the work, distribute the work, adapt the work,
publicly perform the work, and publicly display the work.


HOW CAN SEMINAL HELP?

The Seminal marketplace connects artists and copyright holders with buyers in a
secure, and transparent digital platform. We use smart contracts to manage the
sale and transfer of copyright, so that artists, estates, collectors and
galleries can generate income from intellectual property. Our platform also
allows artists and copyright holders to license and monetize artwork copyrights
through licensing agreements and print-on-demand services.


CAN I CONTROL WHO LICENSES OR BUYS THE COPYRIGHTS TO MY ARTWORK?

Yes. Once you publicize your copyrights on the register, you control
commercialization. Licensing agreements can stipulate limitations and
exclusions, if you do want certain industries using your IP you can toggle-off
specific industries from licensing your work. When it comes to selling and
transferring your copyrights, you decide whether to accept or decline offers,
the terms and the price.


HOW CAN SEMINAL HELP PROTECT MY COPYRIGHTS?

Publicizing your copyright ownership on Seminal's public register is the first
step in protecting your copyrights. Seminal records the copyright using
blockchain technology. If your copyright is infringed, Seminal can automate the
first step to prosecute; a cease-and-desist notice. Seminal offers a full suite
of legal notices, contracts and templates developed with Legal Vision LLC.
Online copyright infringements are claimed with a DMCA takedown process with
Google delisting images from search.


WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY BEHIND SEMINAL?

When you publicize, sell, or license your work on the platform, Seminal records
it on a public register using blockchain technology. Blockchain is an always-on,
immutable, decentralized source of truth that is publicly accessible. The
blockchain records the sale, while Seminal also provides physical proof of
ownership, sales, or licensing of IP.


WHAT COMMISSION DOES SEMINAL TAKE?

Artists & copyright holders receive 85% of the revenue from the initial
copyright sale, and 10% on any resales of the copyright.
