🔥 Why You’ll Love This IP Assignment Agreement Template 🔥

A lawyer-crafted contract that locks in your ownership — with crystal-clear terms and zero loose ends.

  • 📃 Full Ownership, Legally Transferred

    This contract transfers full intellectual property rights to you, in writing, so you’re the legal owner of the work (not just a user).

  • 🎨 Covers Any Type of Creative Work

    Use it for logos, blog posts, photos, videos, digital products, course content, or anything else someone else made — the contract clearly defines what’s being transferred.

  • 🔐 Prevents the Creator From Reusing or Reselling It

    Includes clauses that prevent the assignor from keeping, repurposing, or reselling the content after assigning it to you — so you don't have to worry about them using what's now your work

  • 📸 Includes Optional Portfolio or Promo License Back

    Want to let the creator show off their work in a portfolio, on social media, or in their newsletter? This template includes options for you to grant them a limited license — with terms you control.

  • 🛡️ Protects You From Future Claims or Copyright Issues

    Warranties and indemnities ensure the assignor has the right to assign the work — and keeps you safe from third-party copyright claims or disputes later.

  • 💰 Flexible Compensation Options

    Choose how you compensate the assignor: a flat fee, a license in exchange, or a non-monetary deal. Multiple options are built in.

  • ⚡ Customizable in Under 30 Minutes

    Comes in a fully editable format with plain-English instructions — so you can tailor it to your deal and get it signed fast (with an e-signature).

  • IP assignment Agreement PDF

    Transfers Full Ownership — in Clear Legal Terms

    This template makes the IP assignment official. It transfers all rights, title, and interest from the original creator to you — including copyright, licensing rights, and enforcement rights — so there's no ambiguity about who owns what after signing.

    • A fixed one-time fee
    • A license exchange
    • Credit/attribution
    • Or compensation the creator has already received from another contract (like an independent contractor agreement).

  • Simple ip assignment agreement

    Protects You From Claims or Future Issues

    The original creator confirms they own the work and have the right to assign it — and agrees to protect you from legal claims by third parties. No surprises, no disputes.

Who This IP Assignment Agreement Is(n’t) For

This agreement is for you if you want full ownership of something someone else created — with zero confusion over what’s yours (and what isn’t).

✅ It’s for you if:

  • You’re acquiring rights to any existing creative work from anyone else

  • You hired a freelancer or contractor and want to fully own the content they created (and did not use an independent contractor agreement with a proper IP assignment clause)

  • You want the original creator to give up all rights — but optionally still allow them to show it in their portfolio or on social media or use it for other purposes specified by you

  • You want to tailor compensation (money, credit, license exchange — or no payment at all)

It can be used for all types of creative work, such as:

  • Photos

  • Videos

  • Voice recordings

  • Songs

  • Blog posts and other copy

  • Graphics

  • Drawings

  • Digital art

  • Digital products

  • Logos

  • Other types of content or media

🚫 It’s not for you if:

  • You only want to license creative work (check out the License Agreement Bundle instead)

  • You’re hiring someone to create future work
    👉 Use the Independent Contractor Agreement instead

  • You need to transfer ownership of a business or brand name (you’ll need more than just this contract)
