Work for Hire; Assignment Sample Clauses
The "Work for Hire; Assignment" clause establishes that any work created by one party, typically an employee or contractor, in the course of their engagement is automatically owned by the hiring party, usually the employer or client. This clause often specifies that all intellectual property rights in the work are either considered "work made for hire" under copyright law or, if not, are assigned to the hiring party through a formal transfer of rights. Its core function is to ensure that the hiring party has full ownership and control over the created work, preventing future disputes over intellectual property rights and clarifying the allocation of ownership from the outset.

Work for Hire; Assignment. Except for Fry Material, Fry agrees that all the results and proceeds of Fry's work on or for Client or its affiliates, including relating to any of the Client Sites, and the content of the Client Sites itself, shall be owned exclusively by Client (or Client's designee), including the copyright and other intellectual property rights thereto (including the look and feel and user interface portions of any work). Fry agrees that all work performed under this Agreement (and the results thereof) shall be deemed as "work for hire," of which Client shall be deemed the author, to the extent such works qualify as such in accordance with applicable law. In the event, for any reason, any such results or proceeds are not qualified as work for hire, Fry hereby irrevocably assigns to Client all of its right, title and interest in such results and proceeds and content to Client. Fry agrees that Fry (and his affiliates or subcontractors) will sign all papers and do all acts reasonably necessary or desirable for Client to perfect such ownership rights, provided that Fry shall not be responsible for the payment of any filing fees or other out-of-pocket costs associated with perfection of such ownership rights. Fry hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns to Client any and all Moral Rights that it may have in any of the services or work. Fry also hereby forever waives and agrees never to assert against Client, its successors or licensees, any and all Moral Rights Fry may have in any Services or work hereunder (except for Fry Material), even after expiration or termination of this Agreement. "Moral Rights" means any right to claim authorship of a work, any right to object to any distortion or other modification of the work, and any similar right, existing under the law of any country in the world or under any treaty.
