Protecting Your Titles: Building out the Rights and Permissions
Marketplace
The Next Digital Frontier in Publishing
The Current Situation: Opportunity• Digital books now command anywhere from 20-30% of
the book market.• There is greater demand and interest in Cross Media
publishing than ever before.• The market for Custom Publishing and Course Packs
are both growing rapidly.• EPUB 3 has just been released encouraging multi-
media production.• Judgments protecting copyright are on the rise.
(YouTube, Google, Georgia State etc.)• Speed to market is becoming an essential fact of life in
publishing.
The Current Situation: Challenges• Although books are digitalizing at a rapid rate
Contracts remain stuck in filing cabinets.• Of the top 16 Publishers only 1 has fully scanned and
digitalized their contracts.• More than 50% of major publisher titles information
remains in paper only.• Not knowing quickly what Rights and Permissions are
owned inhibits growth. (Average turnaround time on Rights is 12-16 weeks)
• Inability to digitally access information leads to loss of revenue, misplacement of assets, potential copyright infringement or unneeded licensing fees.
The Current Situation: Remedies
• To address these problems the BISG (Book Industry Study Group) set up a Rights and Permissions Digitalization Committee to look into the matter
• Other industry solutions are also being developed to digitalize transactions and 3rd Party clearances– CCC– Digi-Rights
The Current Situation: Solutions
Digitalization of Rights and Permissions will open up new markets for current Intellectual Assets: - Licensing of Print segments- Easy integration of Graphic Assets
- Ability to Quickly Identify Multi-Media Needs- Creation of a Global Digitalized Rights & Permissions Marketplace
The Current Situation: SolutionsPROCESSES NEEDED: LEGACY
-Scanning/OCR of Contracts to PDF for Legacy Content-Capturing of Rights information for input to Database, transfer to controlled vocabulary metadata-Integration of rights data into a global partnership of rights buyers and vendors-Development of Digital Marketplace-Integration with Rights databases for other Media
