This Branded Content Series IP Development Agreement template is designed for content creators, production companies, marketing agencies, and brands collaborating on original programming that could span multiple seasons, derivative works, and merchandising opportunities.

Whether you're a creator pitching a branded series concept, an agency managing content partnerships, or a brand investing in original IP, this template captures all the essential details—from concept ownership and creative control to revenue participation, licensing rights, and exit provisions.

Once submitted, you can route the agreement through Papersign for secure eSignatures from all parties, keeping the entire contract lifecycle traceable and legally sound.
