Client: a recognized industry expert and content creator who built and developed professional social media accounts with original authored content.
The client, a content author, intended to transfer the rights to social media accounts and all associated content to a Ukrainian company. The transaction required clear legal structuring: defining the scope of rights being transferred, protecting the author’s copyright interests, and settling the commercial terms.
We advised the client on the specifics of assigning economic copyright in digital content, the legal status of social media accounts, and mechanisms for protecting the author’s interests. We drafted and supported the execution of a comprehensive rights transfer agreement addressing the particular nuances of copyright in social media content.
The parties executed the rights transfer agreement. The assignee paid the author’s fee in full under the agreement. The client achieved legal certainty regarding the scope of transferred rights and proper protection of their authorial interests.
