Overview - copyright assignment Registration

What is it?

Copyright Assignment is the transfer of ownership of a copyright (or specific rights under copyright) from the owner (Assignor) to another party (Assignee) under Section 18 of the Copyright Act, 1957. The assignment must be in writing, signed by the Assignor, and can be recorded with the Copyright Office for public notice.

Types of assignment

Full assignment: All rights in the copyright are transferred permanently. Partial assignment: Only certain rights are transferred (e.g., the right to publish in a specific format or territory). Limited assignment: Transfer for a specified period or territory - after which rights revert to the Assignor.

Assignment vs Licence

Assignment transfers ownership - the Assignor permanently loses the right. A licence allows the licensee to use the work while the licensor retains ownership. For most commercial transactions (book publishing, film rights, software acquisition), assignment is used. For ongoing commercial use with retained ownership, licensing is appropriate.

Reversion rights

Under Section 19A of the Copyright Act, an author who has assigned copyright in a work for a royalty can claim reversion if the assignee fails to exercise the rights assigned within one year of assignment. This protects authors from speculative assignments.

Who Usually Requires This?

The Copyright Assignment solution matches perfectly with these profiles:

  • Profile
  • Why It Applies
  • Profile
  • Why It Applies
  • Companies acquiring software, content, or creative works
  • Businesses acquiring software, website content, marketing materials, music, or other copyrighted works from freelancers, agencies, or creators need a written copyright assignment to ensure the company legally owns the work.
  • Startups with founder-created IP
  • Intellectual property created by founders before or during the startup - code, designs, content - must be formally assigned to the company. Without a written assignment, the IP remains with the individual founder.
  • Publishers and media companies acquiring rights
  • Publishing houses, music labels, and film producers regularly acquire copyright from authors, musicians, and screenwriters through assignment agreements - defining the scope, territory, duration, and consideration.
  • Businesses involved in M&A or IP transactions
  • In acquisitions, copyright assignments are critical transaction documents - ensuring all IP assets are formally transferred to the acquirer. Unassigned copyrights remain with the original creator, creating post-acquisition ownership gaps.
