Moral Rights Waiver and Copyright Assignment Confirmation
About this document
Creators of artistic, literary, musical and film works have “moral rights” that stay with them even if they assign the copyright. These include the right to be credited and the right to object to “derogatory treatment” – such as editing, cropping or combining the work in a way that harms their reputation. Moral rights cannot be assigned, but they can be waived in writing. This deed confirms the copyright assignment and records the waiver, which is essential for logos, brand assets and content you will adapt over time.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
