The Legal Risk Score of a Copyright Assignment Template is Medium
Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:
- The document must be properly executed as a deed.
- The document allows for the assignment of copyright everywhere, which means the scope of rights transferred is extremely broad, potentially encompassing unknown future uses or technologies.
- The assignor confirms that no other rights have been granted that would conflict with this agreement, which could pose a risk if this is not accurate and there are undisclosed encumbrances or licenses.
