Eps. 88 - Unintentional Collaboration: How to Accidentally Give Your Contractors Co-Ownership of Your Work

 
 

Check out the latest episode of the Hourly to Exit podcast where we dissect unintentional collaborations and their legal repercussions. This insightful episode covers how joint ownership of copyrighted work can arise when we don’t use written agreements with our contractors. Available on all major podcast platforms.

Key Takeaways:

  • Joint ownership of copyrighted work can occur when your contractor makes copyrightable contributions to  your materials.

  • Avoid unintentional collaborations by having clear contractor agreements in place that specify ownership of intellectual property rights.

  • Even simple contractor agreements can prevent potential disputes and protect your business from unforeseen legal implications.
