Copyright Ownershiphi— - Transfer refers to the process of assigning ownership of copyright to another party. This includes the transfer of intellectual property rights from the original creator to the new owner. There are several types of transfer that can take place. Copyright Assignment is the permanent transfer of copyright ownership from the original creator to a new owner. This type of transfer is usually done through a written document that outlines the terms of the assignment. Copyright Licensing is the granting of permission to use some or all of the protected work by the copyright holder. This type of transfer may include the right to reproduce, distribute, or adapt the work for a period of time. Copyright Assignment and Licensing Agreement is a combination of both copyright assignment and licensing in one document. This type of transfer grants the copyright holder the right to both assign and license the copyright of the work. Copyright Registration is the formal recognition of the copyright of the work in the official government registry.
