Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate when the copyright owner wishes to retain all rights to the work. In such cases, no assignment should be made, and the original owner should maintain control.
  • – If the work in question is not registered with the copyright office, this form may not be suitable. It is essential to have a registered copyright to assign rights legally.
