Copyright Dealing & Protection

Copyright can be a valuable asset for businesses and individuals, particularly in creative, digital, publishing, software and media-related work. These documents help copyright owners deal with copyright as a commercial asset: licensing it, assigning it, protecting it and enforcing it.

This collection includes copyright legal templates and guidance notes for common copyright transactions and protection issues, from straightforward licences and assignments to infringement notices and takedown procedures.

Licensing or transferring copyright

A copyright licence allows the owner to retain ownership while permitting another party to use the work on agreed terms, often in return for a royalty or licence fee. A copyright assignment is used where ownership of the copyright is being transferred.

The collection also includes more specific copyright licences for photographs, illustrations, quotations and extracts, helping users match the document to the type of work and intended use.

Protecting copyright and responding to infringement

The copyright protection documents support owners who need to identify infringement, send a first formal notice, or operate a notice and takedown process for online material.

These documents are aimed at practical first steps: understanding copyright enforcement, putting an alleged infringer on notice, and managing complaints about material hosted or published online.

Managing copyright inside a business

The Copyright Policy helps businesses set internal expectations for copyright created or used by employees, contractors and others working on their behalf.

Other intellectual property document templates available from Simply-Docs include those for trade marks and patents.
