  2. What is an Option Purchase Agreement? • An option purchase agreement is a legally binding contract between the owner of intellectual property (IP) and a potential buyer, often a production company or filmmaker. This agreement allows the buyer to "option" the exclusive rights to develop the IP—such as a screenplay, book, or other creative work—for a specified period. • Key elements of the agreement include: • Exclusive Rights: Ensures the IP is unavailable for other buyers during the option period. • Purchase Price: Defines the amount to be paid for the rights if the option is exercised. • Option Fee: An upfront payment for securing the development rights. • Option Period: Specifies the time frame for the buyer to decide whether to proceed with the purchase • www.lastineentertainmentlaw.com
