Document background
The Deed of Assignment of Copyright is essential when transferring ownership of copyrighted works in Singapore. It's commonly used in business acquisitions, content licensing deals, and intellectual property portfolio management. The deed must comply with Singapore's Copyright Act 2021 and Civil Law Act requirements, ensuring proper execution and registration where necessary. This document is particularly crucial as it provides clear evidence of copyright transfer, specifying the scope of rights, territorial limitations, and any conditions attached to the assignment. The deed's formality offers greater protection than a simple contract and is often required for high-value intellectual property transactions.
