Copyright Assignment Agreement for a Written Work

This kit includes information and tools that will assist you in drafting a copyright assignment agreement, assigning the copyright for a text or other written work.

While a copyright holder holds the exclusive rights to control and exploit the copyrighted material, he/she may transfer those rights to a third party by way of an assignment. A copyright assignment places the transferee in the shoes of the original copyright holder, so that the transferee enjoys all of the rights, protections and responsibilities of a copyright holder.

Included in this kit is a sample form for drafting a copyright assignment agreement for a text or other written work, along with general instructions explaining the significance and operation of each provision in the Agreement.

For use in all states.

Among others, this form includes the following provisions:
• Assignment
• Author’s Representations
• Continuing Obligations
• Binding Effect
• Governing Law
