What is a Short Form Copyright Assignment?

The Short Form Copyright Assignment is used when parties need to transfer copyright ownership in a straightforward manner under English and Welsh law. It's particularly suitable for single works or simple transfers where extensive negotiations aren't required. The document ensures compliance with statutory requirements including written form and signature requirements under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. It should clearly identify the copyrighted work(s), specify the terms of transfer, and include any relevant warranties or representations about ownership and rights to assign.

What sections should be included in a Short Form Copyright Assignment?

1. Parties: Identification of assignor and assignee with full legal names and addresses

2. Background: Brief context explaining the ownership of copyright and reason for assignment

3. Definitions: Key terms used in the agreement including 'Work', 'Intellectual Property Rights', 'Assignment Date'

4. Assignment: Core clause transferring copyright ownership from assignor to assignee

5. Warranties: Assignor's confirmations regarding ownership and right to assign

6. Governing Law: Specification of English and Welsh law as governing law

What sections are optional to include in a Short Form Copyright Assignment?

1. Moral Rights: Waiver or assertion of moral rights, particularly relevant when dealing with artistic, literary, or dramatic works

2. Further Assurance: Obligation to execute additional documents if needed, useful in complex assignments or where additional formalities might be required

3. Consideration: Details of payment or other consideration, included when assignment is not gratuitous

What schedules should be included in a Short Form Copyright Assignment?

1. Schedule 1 - The Works: Detailed description of copyrighted works being assigned

2. Schedule 2 - Registered Rights: List of any registered copyrights (if applicable)
