Copyright Assignments
Great art was meant to be shared.
If you are in a position where you need to transfer ownership of copyrighted work(s) from one entity to another—whether it be a merger, acquisition, or simple asset purchase transaction—you need to make sure that the paperwork correctly assigns all of your copyrighted works to the new entity. The mechanism for doing so is a copyright assignment.
If you are in a position where you need to transfer a limited right to use one of your copyrighted works to another entity, a formal licensing agreement is the best mechanism for doing so. This licensing agreement should explicitly illustrate and describe the rights and responsibilities of all parties. If there is a dispute about the licensing agreement, having a clear, easily understood, and unambiguous legal document will quickly resolve any issue.
