Document background
The Transfer Of Copyright Ownership Form is a crucial legal instrument used in Malaysia when permanently transferring copyright ownership from one party to another. This document is essential when creators, companies, or rights holders wish to sell or assign their copyright interests in works such as literary pieces, artwork, software, music, or other creative content. Governed by the Malaysian Copyright Act 1987, this form must include specific elements to be legally valid, including clear identification of the copyrighted work, parties involved, consideration, and transfer terms. It's commonly used in business acquisitions, content licensing deals, and creative industry transactions where complete transfer of copyright ownership is required rather than just licensing rights.
