Joint Copyright Application Agreement

A Joint Copyright Application Agreement is a legal contract between two or more authors who have created a joint work, setting forth their respective rights and obligations in applying for and maintaining a copyright registration for the work. The agreement typically includes provisions for the allocation of ownership shares, the division of royalties or profits, the management and exploitation of the work, the resolution of disputes, and the termination or transfer of the agreement. The agreement can help to clarify the legal status of the joint work and to prevent misunderstandings or conflicts between the co-authors.
