Filing an Assignment or Licence
An assignment
An assignment occurs when you transfer part, or all, of your rights to another
party. The assignment may be for the whole term of the copyright, or for a
certain part of it.
A licence
A licence gives someone else permission to use your work
under certain conditions, but you still retain ownership. You have not given
up your rights.
To register an assignment or licence in the Copyright Register, please send the original contract, a certified copy, a photocopy or a copy by fax of the agreement between parties to the Copyright Office. The Office will retain a copy of the documentation and return the originals, if applicable, with a certificate of registration.
