Copyright Transfer Agreement for Creatives

This is a COPYRIGHT TRANSFER AGREEMENT (also called an "Assignment") for the total and complete transfer of a "Work"-- meaning something a photographer, designer, copywriter, artist, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR, or other creator has produced. This Agreement will give ALL RIGHTS associated with the Work from the creator and to the client/ company. This Agreement DOES allow the creator to use the Work in their portfolio! Examples of who uses this type of Copyright Transfer Agreement: 1)  Designers who are making a logo, website, marketing materials, etc. to transfer all rights to their Clients; 2)  Clients of photographers and videographers who want full rights to their photos (usually commercial clients); 3)  Clients of copywriters and/ or marketers 4)  Videography Clients; 5)  anyone who has hired an Independent Contractor, because independent contractors do not produce Works Made for Hire unless it's a certain type of work (this is a concept that even seasoned attorneys can mess up!).
