Format Holdback Period Sample Clauses

The Format Holdback Period clause establishes a specific timeframe during which a particular media format, such as a television show or film, cannot be distributed, broadcast, or made available in certain markets or platforms. Typically, this period is set to protect the initial release window, ensuring that the content remains exclusive to a designated channel, territory, or licensee for a set duration. By defining this holdback period, the clause helps maximize the value of the initial release and prevents market saturation or competition from other distributors during the protected timeframe.
