The year 2023 ended with another seminar organized by the law firm PCS Avocat at the Gaming Campus (Paris) to support second-year students in a course module dedicated to entrepreneurship and corporate law.
For one week, in a sprint format, the students were trained on the legal issues related to creating startups and the responsibilities of entrepreneurs.
At the end of their training, they presented their projects, primarily focused on analyzing communication and video game companies to identify their specific characteristics, operations, and structure.
Video game industry: Legal problems and solutions specific to each sector
Numerous video game studios were analyzed, including Nintendo, Blizzard (particularly through the lens of its acquisition by Microsoft), Motion Twin, Ankama, Game Freak (creator of the Pokémon franchise), and others.
More broadly focused companies were also studied, such as the Chinese giant Tencent and esports organizations.
Students were able to grapple with the legal and technical issues associated with the activities and structures of the companies analyzed: limited liability companies (SARL or SAS), worker cooperatives (SCOP), shareholder agreements, exclusivity clauses, general terms and conditions, fundraising preparation, etc.
Congratulations to the students for this new session and their involvement in these projects.
