Can I transfer or assign my copyright?
Yes, you can transfer or assign your copyright to another person or organization in North Dakota.

Copyright transfer is accomplished either through an explicit written agreement or through federal law. In order to assign all your rights under copyright law to another person or organization, you must include certain information in the assignment agreement. This includes your name, the name and address of the assignee, the title of the work, a date and signature. It is important to note that the assignee will not gain ownership of the copyright until the agreement is signed. It is also important to note that you can only transfer the copyright for the work in North Dakota. You must establish the right to transfer the copyright under the law of the state where the work was created. When transferring or assigning your copyright, it is important to make sure you understand the details of the agreement to ensure you are protecting your work.
