Document background
The Copyright Assignment Form is a crucial legal instrument used in Indonesia when one party wishes to transfer complete ownership of copyright in a work to another party. This document is essential for businesses, creative professionals, and organizations operating under Indonesian jurisdiction, particularly Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. It's commonly used in situations involving employee-created works, commissioned works, company acquisitions, or publishing agreements. The form must address specific requirements of Indonesian copyright law, including provisions for both economic rights transfer and moral rights acknowledgment. It's particularly important to note that while economic rights can be fully transferred under Indonesian law, moral rights remain with the original creator and this must be properly reflected in the assignment form. The document typically includes detailed descriptions of the work(s) being assigned, consideration terms, warranties of ownership, and may require registration with Indonesian intellectual property authorities.
