Warner Brothers is a major media and entertainment company that holds intellectual property rights for numerous film and television franchises used in modern pinball games. In the pinball industry, they serve as a primary IP licensor for premium titles including Beetlejuice, Harry Potter, Scooby-Doo, and Looney Tunes properties, working directly with pinball manufacturers like Spooky Pinball and Jersey Jack to approve designs, provide assets, and negotiate licensing agreements. The company maintains collaborative relationships with pinball makers, providing detailed design documentation (CAD files, style guides) and requiring approval of artwork and game elements. Their licensing approach has evolved to include bundled multi-title contracts that influence manufacturer production strategies.
