Our client, a global aerospace and defense manufacturer, regularly integrates third-party media—videos, photos, artwork, and graphics—into training materials, sales presentations and internal communications. While the company had attempted to automate copyright clearance internally, the system proved inefficient and resource intensive. With rising content demands and complex usage requirements, they needed a reliable, streamlined method to obtain appropriate permissions while maintaining compliance with copyright law.
We delivered a comprehensive solution anchored by expert research support and smart technology. Our team of information specialists applied our copyright clearance process to facilitate end-to-end rights management of copyright materials. We identified rights holders for all content, crafted professional permission requests, obtained written licenses and archived all outcomes for future reference.
Our proven, comprehensive copyright clearance process eliminated guesswork and bottlenecks while ensuring compliance.
Our client achieved several notable outcomes from our support. They replaced a time-consuming, in-house process with a proactive, outsourced model that reduced internal workloads and associated costs. The formalized permissions management process we introduced lowered the company’s potential legal exposure stemming from copyright infringement or other misuse. In addition, the copyright clearance process we implemented ensured reliable access to rights-cleared content, allowing the company’s creative and training teams to produce materials with confidence and agility.
This successful engagement represented one aspect of our long-term relationship with this aerospace client. Over the years, we’ve provided a range of specialized services, including information research around intellectual property; taxonomy development, metadata creation and related services to create a well-organized, searchable repository.
