Assignment of Literary Property, also known as an Assignment of Copyright, is a legal document that defines the transfer of the ownership rights of a literary work from one party to another. This document is usually used to transfer the rights of a literary work from the creator to a publisher, or from one publisher to another. When the assignment is complete, the assignee will own all the rights of the work, including the right to publish, reproduce, and create derivative works. There are two types of Assignment of Literary Property: an absolute assignment and a limited assignment. An absolute assignment grants the assignee with all rights of a work, while a limited assignment grants the assignee with specific rights, such as the right to publish or reproduce the work in certain formats.
