Creative Ownership Clause Samples
The Creative Ownership clause establishes who holds the rights to any creative work or intellectual property produced under an agreement. Typically, it specifies whether the creator retains ownership or if those rights are transferred to the client or employer, and may address issues such as copyright, licensing, and usage permissions. This clause is essential for clarifying the legal status of creative outputs, preventing disputes over ownership, and ensuring all parties understand how the work can be used or distributed.
