Work-For-Hire Agreements are Important Whenever Dealing with Contractors, Freelancers or Other Third Parties
Work-for-hire agreements are contracts between employers and independent contractors that specify the ownership of work product that is created as part of the provision of services during the contractual period. In a work-for-hire agreement, the contractor is typically hired to provide services to complete a specific project or task and is paid for their services, but the employer retains all rights (including copyright) to the work product resulting from the provision of services by the contractor under the contract.
Work-for-hire contracts are important, because the default rule is that an independent contractor typically would own copyright in any resulting work-product (unless otherwise specified in writing). Thus, it is important to ensure that your agreement is clear and that both parties understand which result is intended and created before signing.
