Ownership of copyright covers who holds the rights in a creative work from the moment of creation or assignment, including manuscripts, software, designs and other outputs. A solicitor practising in this area helps determine authorship, whether a work was created under an employment contract or commissioned, and negotiates or records assignments and licences. They also advise on moral rights, exploitation, and transfers to employers or third parties, and assist with title evidence under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
The solicitor drafts and reviews assignment and licence agreements, confirms a clear chain of title, and negotiates terms that govern use, reproduction and adaptation. They assess issues around joint authorship, employer–employee relationships, and potential disputes over entitlement, notices, and terminations, ensuring the client’s rights are defined and protected in a way that anticipates future exploitation or transfer.
