Registration Rights are contractual rights that allow investors to require (demand) a company to register their shares for public resale or to include their shares in a company-initiated registration, typically after an IPO or when the company becomes eligible. In venture financings, Registration Rights are set out in an investor rights agreement, and Registration Rights include concepts like demand rights, piggy-back rights, S-3 eligibility, and underwriter cutbacks.
