Transfer your copyright to someone else
In business it is sometimes necessary to transfer copyright from one party to another. As a creative professional, you might come across any number of scenarios where a customer or a client wants to own the copyright associated with a commissioned or purchased work. This is where a simple copyright assignment form can help.
Maybe you contributed to some songs that your old band wrote together. You’ve given up the rock star dream for a day job, but the band still wants to tour and try to promote its music. A copyright assignment form would allow you – if you chose – to sign over your share of the copyright to the remaining members of the band.
If you’re not comfortable fully handing over your copyright to your work, you can always explore license your work. Licensing allows you to sell usage of your work to someone else within predetermined limits that you set. You can license a work for a month, a year, or forever. You can license it for use online without licensing it for use in print media.
Still, sometimes licensing isn’t what’s best. For instance, maybe you’ve designed a logo and a website for a new business in town and, instead of wanting to manage that copyright yourself, you just want to hand it over to the business owners. A copyright assignment form makes the process simple and easy.
Copyright assignment is absolute, meaning that once you assign your copyright to someone else you cannot get it back. For this reason, many creative professionals choose to license their work while retaining the actual copyright for themselves.
