[Advisory] Review of Game Publishing Contract

Game development company A requested a contract review from Law firm Veat to enter into a publishing contract. Law firm Veat has reviewed a wide variety of game publishing contracts, including those with publishers from diverse regions such as China, Japan, and the United States, across diverse platforms like mobile, PC, and console, and across various genres. Based on this experience, Law firm Veat focused on reviewing copyright and ownership of game data, license grant conditions, profit sharing, and termination conditions, which are the areas where the interests of game developers and game publishers are most sharply opposed.

In this process, Law firm Veat identified terms that were disadvantageous to the game developer but favorable to the game publisher, and suggested modifications necessary for a medium- and long-term relationship between the developer and publisher. Company A adjusted the detailed contractual terms based on Law firm Veat’s review and ultimately, a publishing contract was concluded that satisfied both the developer and the publisher.

Thank you.
