Copyright Transfer Agreement

"I need a Copyright Transfer Agreement under Dutch law for transferring rights to my novel series to ABC Publishing BV, with a 10% royalty arrangement and the right to create derivative works, starting from March 1, 2025."

Document background
The Copyright Transfer Agreement is essential in situations where complete or partial transfer of copyright ownership is required under Dutch law. This document is commonly used in publishing, academic research, media production, and software development contexts where intellectual property needs to be formally transferred from creators to organizations. The agreement must carefully navigate the requirements of the Dutch Copyright Act (Auteurswet), particularly regarding moral rights which cannot be fully transferred, and must comply with EU copyright directives as implemented in Dutch law. It typically includes detailed provisions about the work being transferred, the scope of the transfer, consideration, warranties, and any retained rights, while ensuring all formal requirements for valid transfer under Dutch law are met.
