A "copyright assignment" is a contract that transfers a copyrighted work from the copyright holder to a purchaser. A copyright assignment agreement typically sets forth the following key provisions:

• The irrevocable assignment of the copyrighted work to the transferee
• The consideration to be paid
• The representations and warranties of the copyright holder, such as those relating to ownership, non-infringement of third party rights, no claims related to the work, and so forth
• Dispute resolution provisions (such as binding arbitration)
