December, 2010 - Santiago, Chile
The 33 miners trapped under earth in the Chilean Atacama desert between August 5 and October 13, 2010, signed an agreement with Carey y Cía. and Remberto Valdés Abogados y Consultores, for the protection, licensing and sale of their intellectual property rights over the experience they lived in the depth of the San José mine.
On December 4th, 23 of the 33 miners signed the agreement and today the last one of them signed.
The agreement includes the protection, licensing and sale either in Chile or abroad of their intellectual property rights over their life story, image and other rights.
With this aim a closed corporation has been formed, to which the 33 miners transferred all the rights arising from their life experience in the San José mine. The ownership of the corporation is divided in equal parts among the 33.
Another corporation is being formed to act as an agent in the sale of the intellectual property right of the miners. This corporation is open to local and foreign investor interested in investing in this project.
