The Deed of Assignment of Copyright is a crucial legal instrument used in Pakistan when transferring ownership of copyright from one party to another. This document is essential when authors, creators, or companies wish to permanently transfer their copyright interests to other individuals or entities, typically in exchange for compensation. It must comply with the Copyright Ordinance, 1962, and should be properly executed as a deed to ensure enforceability. The document is commonly used in various scenarios, including the sale of creative works, corporate acquisitions of intellectual property, or transfer of rights in employment contexts. It should clearly identify the works being assigned, specify the terms of transfer, and include necessary warranties and representations to protect both parties' interests.
