What is Copyright Transfer?

Copyright Transfer (or Assignment) is the process where the owner of a work transfers all their legal rights to another person or entity. Once transferred, the original creator loses their rights to the work (except moral rights in some cases), and the new owner gains full control.

This is common in book publishing, music production deals, and software development, where the production house or company acquires the rights from the creator for commercial exploitation.
