Copyright Agreement Template [Nigeria]

Updated May 18, 2024

A Copyright Agreement is a vital contract setting the terms upon which a copyright owner permits others to utilize, share, adapt, or exhibit their intellectual property. It clearly defines both parties’ obligations – ensuring the licensor keeps full ownership while granting the licensee specified usage rights for a defined time.

This agreement is not just about permission; it’s about empowering creativity and sharing innovation while protecting the owner’s rights.

How to use this Copyright Agreement

To effectively use a copyright agreement, you should start by clearly outlining what rights are being given and the rules around using the copyrighted material. Be sure to include how long the agreement lasts, any guidelines about renewals or endings, and how payments (like royalties) work. Also, be clear about any limits on where or how the work can be used. It’s important to make sure it’s clear who owns the work and how they should be credited.
