Document background
The Short Form Copyright Assignment is designed for situations requiring a straightforward transfer of copyright ownership under Indian law. It is commonly used when creators, artists, authors, or developers need to transfer their copyright to another party, such as a company or publisher. This document is particularly suitable for single work transfers or situations where a more complex agreement isn't necessary. It complies with the Indian Copyright Act, 1957, and includes all essential elements required by Section 19 of the Act for a valid assignment. The agreement is structured to be concise while ensuring all crucial aspects of the copyright transfer are properly documented, making it ideal for routine copyright assignments in various creative and commercial contexts.
