Document background
A Copyright Assignment Agreement is essential when there is a need to transfer complete ownership of copyrighted works in Singapore. This document is commonly used in business acquisitions, employee-employer relationships, or when commissioning creative works. The agreement must comply with Singapore's Copyright Act 2021 and includes specific details about the works being transferred, the rights being assigned, and any associated conditions. It provides legal certainty for both the assignor and assignee, ensuring clear documentation of the ownership transfer and helping prevent future disputes over intellectual property rights.
