The Film Intellectual Property Assignment Agreement transfers the ownership of ideas or materials or other assets from one person or entity to another.  It is often used to buy rights that don’t quite fit in another category or are done as a purchase and not a license.  It is often used in lieu of a quitclaim when a person leaves a project.

This is a legal document that details the terms and conditions between a Purchaser and the Intellectual Property Owner.

Having the right deal in place is essential to protecting you and your production. Without the right contract in place, you can expose yourself, your company, and your film.

For films, it is essential to document every deal properly to have a clean chain of titles for distribution or acquisition.

Creating a contract ensures that the parties making the agreement will have all the proper terms and conditions laid out in advance of the engagement.
