INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ASSIGNMENT AGREEMENT
IP Assignment Agreement is a written agreement between two parties in which a property owner (known as assignor) transfers the complete ownership in a subject matter to another party (known as assignee).
All subject matters of the intellectual property rights, such as music, design, artwork, photograph, video, sound, etc. can be assigned by the owner of such material. The terms of the transfer have to be clearly captured in the agreement to avoid any ambiguity.
