Copyright assignments are the proper transfer and purchase of copyrighted works.

Like all intellectual property, copyrights can be purchased or transferred from the owner of the original work and copyright to any interested party. During this process, clearly outlining the proper terms in a copyright assignment safeguards against claims of infringement as well as saves hundreds of dollars in potential future litigation. Having ownership information be up-to-date also allows people to be able to easily reach you in case they would like to contact you about licensing your copyrighted work.
