Interesting snip-it of old contract between Lucas and Hasbro like mentioned above.
13.6. Quality Assurance. Licensee shall ensure that the form, quality and
standard of all materials used in the connection with the Licensed
Products conforms to that of the samples approved by Licensor pursuant to
this Agreement and complies with all good manufacturing practices relevant
to the Licensed Products including methods of storage and with all laws
and regulations relevant to the Licensed Products including any relevant
regulations concerning the manufacture, sale or promotion or labeling or
marking of such Licensed Products. Any modifications by or on behalf of
Licensee to the Licensed Products previously approved above shall be
submitted to Licensor for written approval as if the same were new and
without approval.
13.7. Right To Inspect. Licensee shall allow Licensor and/or its duly
authorized representative the right to inspect samples of the Licensed
Products at any time and on reasonable notice, and shall afford Licensor
every reasonable assistance and allow or use reasonable efforts to procure
them access to any premises of Licensee or other premises where the
Licensed Products are being created or held on behalf of Licensee, for so
long as any use is made of the Licensed Property
Should PPS go as far as Lucas to ensure quality? Hasbro is making millions of the toys, Twisted makes how many toppers?
Not going to fault PPS on that one.
PPS has the right to make contracts with licencees as it see fit.
Copyrights are very powerful, don't mess with those rights.....
