Assignment of copyrightAn assignment (assignation) of copyright is an outright transfer of the ownership of the economic rights in the copyright to a third party. Some jurisdictions (e.g. France) in the droit d'auteur tradition do not permit assignation. National rules will dictate the formalities required, for example who has to sign the assignation (whether the assignor and the assignee) and if witnesses are needed. |
