PRACTICE NOTES
What is film finance? Films are expensive to make and costs arise during filming and marketing before proceeds are generated from screenings. Film finance typically refers to the financing necessary to cover the costs included in the production budget for a film (however, it can also cover other types of finance arrangements such as development and bridge financing). Key considerations for any financier providing production finance will centre around what are commonly referred to as the ‘completion’ and ‘performance/repayment’ risks. Rights in a film In legal terms, a film is a bundle of assets, including: • the copyright in the story (and it is critical that careful due diligence is undertaken to ensure that the film producer owns the rights in the story being filmed, in particular because copyrights are not registrable). This diligence process is known as reviewing the chain of title • the copyright in the film, sound recording, advertising and marketing material. For further information on copyright, see Practice Note: Copyright—protectable works • other intellectual property rights, including trademarks and design rights. For more information, see Practice

IP analysis: In a judgment handed down on 29 March 2022 the Court of Appeal has considered whether a final injunction should be stayed pending appeal. After finding Neurim’s patent valid (and therefore infringed), the High Court had refused permission to appeal, enjoined Mylan and refused to stay that injunction pending an application for permission to appeal. However, in granting permission, the Court of Appeal thought a stay appropriate until determination of the appeal. Core to this decision was the question of whether damages could be quantified and adequately compensate the party that prevailed on appeal (ie whether damages could compensate Mylan for a wrongfully granted injunction, or Neurim if the injunction was stayed and the High Court decision was subsequently upheld). The judges were not fully aligned on this question, but agreed that in light of the prevailing uncertainties it was prudent to maintain the status quo pending the outcome of the appeal.
