Animation : When is the right time to do IP for your cartoons? by Mia Balventy

When is the right time to do IP for your cartoons?

I watched the webinar " How to develop, pitch, and sell an animated series" with Brad Graeber, and was wondering to know when is the right time to think about protecting your cartoons, as IP? Is it before pitching the idea, in case you are selling for instance to "Netflix", or when is the right time to consider IP for a creation?

Would appreciate your best advice on IP, thanks

I am a believer in protecting your IP now - as soon as possible. It’s your creation and it’s always best to lean into caution so you can share without concern. Here is another webinar that may be helpful: https://www.stage32.com/webinars/Breaking-Down-IP-Intellectual-Property-...
