NFLPA Group Licensing Program Clause Samples
The NFLPA Group Licensing Program clause establishes the framework by which the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) manages and licenses the collective publicity rights of its member players. Under this clause, the NFLPA is authorized to negotiate and enter into agreements with third parties, such as merchandise or video game companies, to use the names, images, and likenesses of multiple players as a group. This arrangement streamlines the process for companies seeking to use player likenesses, as they can secure rights for many players at once rather than negotiating individual deals. The core function of this clause is to centralize and simplify the licensing of player rights, ensuring efficiency and maximizing revenue opportunities for both the players and the NFLPA.

The NFL Player Contract shall in- clude, solely for the administrative convenience and benefit of the player and the NFLPA, the provision set forth in Paragraph 4(b) of the NFL Player Contract (▇▇▇▇▇- ▇▇▇ A hereto), regarding the NFLPA Group Licensing Program. Neither the League nor any Club is a party to, or a beneficiary of, the terms of that provision. No Club may enter into any agreement with a Player or a Player Affiliate that is inconsistent with any rights granted to the NFLPA pursuant to Paragraph 4(b) of the NFL Player Contract; provided that this sentence is not intended and shall not be construed to override or restrict the rights granted to the Club and the League pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) of the NFL Player Contract.
