Document background
The Copyright Transfer Agreement is essential for any situation where copyright ownership needs to be legally transferred from one party to another in Indonesia. This document is commonly used in publishing, media, educational, and creative industries when authors, artists, or creators want to transfer their economic rights to publishers, companies, or institutions. The agreement must comply with Indonesian Law No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright, which provides specific requirements for copyright transfer while protecting creators' moral rights. The document should be structured to facilitate registration with the Directorate General of Intellectual Property and typically includes detailed descriptions of the works being transferred, the scope of rights, consideration, and relevant warranties. It's particularly important in commercial transactions involving intellectual property and ensures clear documentation of ownership transfer while maintaining compliance with Indonesian copyright law.
