This is a comprehensive 5-page document template that facilitates the transfer of the intellectual property ownership for logo marks, typography designs, social media identity designs, icon designs, illustrations, and other brand assets from designers to clients.

Why use this Copyright Transfer Agreement?

A substantial number of clients have limited previous experience working with a designer or a branding agency, and as such, are often unsure as to what rights they hold once a design project is completed. By outlining the particular works for which you are assigning the rights, together with the specific rights that you are assigning to your client + the rights you are retaining for yourself, you will avoid running into misunderstandings or potential legal issues with your clients.

• This copyright ownership transfer template clearly identifies you as the original designer of the creative works provided to your client, reassuring the client that they are getting original works designed by you.
• This copyright ownership transfer template will save your clients the extra complications associated with the process of officially registering their trademark with the USPTO by providing them a document that clearly authenticates their ownership of the copyright.
