Outsourced Platform Copyright Assignment
Secure Intellectual Property Rights with an Outsourced Platform Copyright Assignment
This is one of 17 Intellectual Property Protection Documents
An Outsourced Platform Copyright Assignment provided by FTC Guardian is specifically crafted for transferring ownership rights of copyrights and other intellectual property (IP) rights in content created by outsourced independent contractors working on popular online platforms such as Fiverr.com, oDesk.com, Elance.com, Freelancer.com, TopTal.com, and Staff.com. While the Terms of Service on these platforms may state that copyrights and other intellectual property rights will be transferred to you as the client or employer, it can be challenging to find comfort solely in these statements.
To ensure a more secure transfer of ownership rights, our assignment takes a direct approach by reaching out to the independent contractor who produced the work. Through email communication, we seek to obtain a clear "work made for hire" statement along with an assignment of ownership for valuable copyrights and other intellectual property rights associated with the created content.
It's important to understand that many platform contractors are located in countries outside the United States. Due to this factor, along with other complexities that may arise, we cannot provide a guarantee regarding the validity and enforceability of copyright assignments and other intellectual property rights.
However, FTC Guardian's Outsourced Platform Copyright Assignment serves as an additional layer of protection by directly addressing the source of the work—the independent contractor.
Choose their Intellectual Property Protection Documents to secure your intellectual property rights when working with outsourced independent contractors on various online platforms.

While the Terms of Service for platforms like Fiverr.com, oDesk.com, Elance.com, Freelancer.com, TopTal.com, and Staff.com may mention the transfer of copyrights and intellectual property rights to you as a client, it can be difficult to rely solely on these statements.
To address this concern, these Intellectual Property Protection Documents offer an effective solution. FTC Guardian's Outsourced Platform Copyright Assignment is specifically designed to go directly to the source of the work—the independent contractor—through email communication.
