How a Computer Games Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Copyright Transfer Agreement in Indiana

In 2023, a business in Indiana posted a project seeking assistance with a copyright transfer agreement. The client required a legal professional to draft a contract to secure the purchase of a codebase that included developed and unfinished games, as well as essential supporting software. Given that the developers had not been formally contracted and had not received payment, the client aimed to ensure that the agreement effectively conveyed ownership while preventing any unauthorized sharing of the codebase. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $750 to $1,500. All proposals were submitted in a timely manner to meet the client’s requested deadline of one week.
