What is a Copyright Assignment Agreement?
A copyright assignment agreement is a legal document transferring the ownership and rights of a specific creative work or works. A copyright assignment agreement protects the rights of parties involved by clarifying and providing a record of ownership of a work, especially in the event of a transfer.
Notarization of a copyright assignment agreement is not legally required, but it is always a good idea to get an agreement like this notarized. Copyright assignment agreements can cover works such as writing or artwork and are sometimes known as a sales agreement for copyright.
