Document background
The Character Waiver serves as a crucial legal instrument in the Philippine creative and commercial sectors, facilitating the authorized use of character intellectual property. This document becomes necessary when character creators or rights holders wish to grant others permission to use, adapt, or commercialize their character creations. The waiver must comply with Philippine civil law requirements and intellectual property regulations, particularly addressing moral rights which are strongly protected under Philippine law. It typically includes detailed specifications of the character, permitted uses, territorial scope, and duration of the waiver. The document is especially relevant in today's digital age where character licensing and adaptation across multiple media platforms has become increasingly common.
