Franchised IP:
"To
give the right or the privilege" Intellectual property (IP) refers to
creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic works, and symbols,
names, images, and designs used in commerce.
IP is
divided into two categories: Industrial
property, which includes inventions (patents), trademarks, industrial designs,
and geographic indications of source; and Copyright, which includes literary
and artistic works such as novels, poems and plays, films, musical works,
artistic works such as drawings, paintings, photographs and sculptures, and
architectural designs. Rights related to
copyright include those of performing artists in their performances, producers
of phonograms in their recordings, and those of broadcasters in their radio and
television programs. For an introduction to IP for non-specialists.
An example
of franchised intellectual property would be were characters from films or
other games are used in a different game. For example in “Super Smash bro’s” in
this game characters from other series like Sega’s “Sonic” and Konami’s “Snake”(
from metal gear solid ) as well as some of Nintendo’s own characters.
Serialized Original IP:
Created from
scratch (often inspired by other copyrighted works) and then built into a
series. An example of this would be “Skylanders” witch was based on the game “Spyro”.
The game
skylanders used the character Spyro to create their own game based on him on his friends such as "Cynder". However, the charcters are slightly different therefore they own all the copyright.
