It can be gifted, assigned, sold\u2026 basically, a copyright transfer happens anytime the copyright changes hands, whether or not money was involved.<\/p>\n<p>(Side note: a copyright license is not a transfer, because you are giving someone permission to use the copyright, but you still retain ownership of the copyright itself).<\/p>\n<h2>Transferring Copyrights<\/h2>\n<p>So how do you effectively make a copyright transfer?<\/p>\n<p>According to the Copyright Act, a copyright transfer must be in writing to be valid.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For the sake of legal clarity<\/strong>, you want to explicitly state every single work that is being transferred, and you want to clearly state that you are making a transfer, so there\u2019s no confusion about what is happening.<\/p>\n<p>(At the risk of stating the obvious, you also want to include your name, the name of the person receiving the copyright, and your signature.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>While notarization of the writing is not required,<\/strong> it\u2019s a good practice to ensure that no one can question the validity of the document down the road.<\/p>\n<p>What if you want to transfer a lot of copyrights at once?<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you want to transfer 100 or more copyrights in one document<\/strong>, then listing them all inside of a paragraph can be problematic.<\/p>\n<p>In cases like that, it may make sense to attach a Schedule to the back and simply reference the Schedule in the document.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Would You Transfer a Copyright?<\/h2>\n<p>So that\u2019s how you go about making a transfer. But why make a transfer in the first place? Under what circumstances is a transfer a good idea?<\/p>\n<h3>For Post-Death Reasons<\/h3>\n<p>The first reason you might want to make a transfer is to make it easier to administer your estate after your death.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This could mean assigning your copyrights to a trust or corporation if they are valuable enough<\/strong>, so there\u2019s no risk of probate and the copyrights can be properly managed.<\/p>\n<p>If your circumstances are such that you don\u2019t need a trust or corporation, you can simply name a beneficiary in your will.<\/p>\n<h3>To Gift Them<\/h3>\n<p>The second reason you might want to make a transfer is to sell or gift your copyrights to someone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>At one point it was standard practice to sell your copyrights to a publisher rather than give them a license.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While that is no longer the norm, there may be instances where an outright sale makes more sense than a license, or where you want to give the copyrights away during your lifetime rather than on death.<\/p>\n<h3>For Easier Management<\/h3>\n<p>The third reason you might want to make a transfer is to more easily manage your copyrights through a corporate entity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>While this could be done for estate planning purposes<\/strong>, as mentioned above, it can also be done for purely administrative purposes, such as getting a better tax rate or creating systems to better manage your portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your reason for making the transfer, it\u2019s always important to dot the i\u2019s and cross the t\u2019s so the transfer is not questioned or invalidated down the road.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like help making a copyright transfer<\/strong>, please feel free to contact me at <a href=\"mailto:kaway@kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kaway@kawaylaw.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to read more articles like this one Writer\u2019s Fun Zone? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/contact-beth\/#signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Subscribe here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">***<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>ABOUT THE AUTHOR<\/h2>\n<p><a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/2019\/06\/07\/what-do-i-need-to-know-about-the-california-consumer-privacy-act-ccpa-by-kelley-way\/kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"kawaylaw.com noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-19891 tc-smart-load-skip tc-smart-loaded\" title=\"Kelley Way\" src=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB-640x800.jpg 640w, https:\/\/writersfunzone.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/way18CRWEB.jpg 700w\" alt=\"Kelley Way\" width=\"150\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kelley Way was born and raised in Walnut Creek, California.
