The project will span the acquisition of a specific IP to act as a template to be emulated by other companies. On presenting an exciting world building revenue stream, securing a comprehensive shopping agreement with the author and a competitive contract with a broadcaster - this project will both produce a tangible example and show its working to help secure better IP security for production companies.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
