# Categorized Rights

> Core rights grants flattened by rights type, control, and exclusivity

<Info>
  Categorized Fields are simplified views derived from [Structured Data](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/rights). For full detail including revenue types, excluded territories, and descriptions, see the [Rights](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/rights) structured data page.

## Overview

Categorized Rights flatten the rights grants in a contract into their core components: what type of rights, how they're controlled, whether they're exclusive, and where they apply. This makes it easy to filter and compare rights across contracts.

## What Gets Categorized

### Rights Type

The type of intellectual property rights covered:

| Rights Type      | Description                                        |
| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **Master**       | Sound recording rights (master recordings)         |
| **Publishing**   | Composition rights (songs, lyrics, melodies)       |
| **Neighbouring** | Related rights (performer rights, producer rights) |

### Control Type

How the rights are controlled:

| Control      | Description                                                 |
| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **License**  | Rights are licensed for use, ownership retained by licensor |
| **Transfer** | Rights are transferred/assigned to the other party          |

### Exclusivity

Whether the grant is exclusive:

| Exclusivity       | Description                                              |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Exclusive**     | Only the grantee can exploit the rights in the territory |
| **Non-exclusive** | Rights can be granted to multiple parties                |

### Territories

The geographic scope is shown as an array of ISO country codes (e.g., "US", "GB", "DE") or "World" for worldwide rights.

## Example

A contract granting:

* "Exclusive worldwide master rights license"
* "Non-exclusive publishing administration in North America"

Would be categorized as:

| Rights Type | Control | Exclusivity   | Territories |
| ----------- | ------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| Master      | License | Exclusive     | World       |
| Publishing  | License | Non-exclusive | US, CA, MX  |

<Note>
  Ancillary rights, revenue type restrictions, and excluded territories are captured in the full [Structured Data](/projects/contracts/contract-details/structured-data/rights). The categorized view focuses on the core grant structure.
