Ownership; Assignment Clause Samples

The "Ownership; Assignment" clause defines who holds the rights to certain property, such as intellectual property, and outlines the process for transferring those rights from one party to another. Typically, this clause specifies whether the creator or the commissioning party owns the work and details the conditions under which ownership can be assigned, such as requiring written consent or formal documentation. Its core function is to ensure clarity regarding the control and transfer of rights, thereby preventing disputes over ownership and use of valuable assets.
